On the open oil market a barrel of oil is 42 gallons as far a drums go there is a 55 gallon barrel and other sized barrels too. So yes you can get a 55 gallon drum I have seen it stamped right on the barrel.
I have had friends that work in barrel factories, talk about some exciting after work talk.
