Convert Cubic feet per day to US barrels per hour
Convert Cubic feet per day (ft³/d) to US barrels per hour (bbl/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
bbl/h = ft³/d × 0.007421150278
About Cubic feet per day
The cubic foot per day (ft³/d) equals 0.028316846592/86400 ≈ 3.277×10⁻⁷ m³/s, found in US oil-and-gas production reports for low-rate gas wells and groundwater monitoring wells. A marginal coalbed-methane well producing 50 Mcf/d (50 000 ft³/d) of gas represents a modest but economic flow; residential water-well yield tests report in ft³/d. 1 ft³/d ≈ 3.277×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
About US barrels per hour
The US barrel per hour (bbl/h) equals 0.158987294928/3600 ≈ 4.416×10⁻⁵ m³/s, standard in petroleum-refinery process engineering for crude-oil unit feed rates and product run-downs. Crude-distillation unit (CDU) feed is sized in bbl/h; a 100 000 bbl/d refinery processes ≈4 167 bbl/h. Process simulation software (Aspen HYSYS) uses bbl/h by default for petroleum streams. 1 bbl/h ≈ 4.416×10⁻⁵ m³/s.
