A standard (now) actual chemical drum holds 200L, which would be 200kg plus the weight of the barrel if filled with water. Oil is less dense.

Estimations are much easier with metric units.

There are special hand-powered machines for moving chemical drums: https://www.salesbridges.eu/en/products/drums-lifter/
