I have a 40 year old house with an oil furnace. I know how much oil I use a year. Is there a conversion factor that would tell me how much gas I would use with a 90% and a 95% efficient natural gas furnace?

How is natural gas converted to electricity? What is the efficiency of the process in real life?

I need to find out the conversion factor of gallons of natural gas into kwh of electricity for a natural gas power plant in Louisiana. When I calculate it using heat of combustion of natural gas, it gives me a really big value for kwh of electricity, however using DOE’s data gives me a far lesser value. I am confused what is the conversion factor and what is the efficiency of the process. Please be as specific as you can.
