Barrels can be used to store and transport 25 units of Crude oil. Since they are solid objects, they can be used as an alternative to pipes, once Fluid handling is researched. The barrels themselves are reusable once the oil is drained.
Barrels stack in groups of 10. A single Cargo wagon can hold 400 barrels, which gives a capacity of 10,000 Crude oil per Cargo wagon.
Empty Barrels
Empty Barrels can be crafted. When Crude Oil Barrels are emptied, the (required) Assembling machine will also return an Empty Barrel.

A simple example with Transport Belts:
