About US barrels per day
The US barrel per day (bbl/d or bpd) equals 0.158987294928/86400 ≈ 1.840×10⁻⁶ m³/s, the universal unit for crude-oil production, refinery capacity, and petroleum-product supply/demand reporting. Saudi Arabia produces ≈9-10 million bbl/d; global demand is ≈99-102 million bbl/d. All oil-market pricing, OPEC quotas, and EIA reports use bbl/d. 1 bbl/d ≈ 1.840×10⁻⁶ m³/s ≈ 0.15899 m³/d.
About Cubic feet per second
The cubic foot per second (ft³/s or cfs) equals 0.028316846592 m³/s, the primary unit for measuring river discharge and open-channel flow in the United States. The US Geological Survey publishes all streamflow data in cfs; irrigation water rights, flood-control gates, and dam spillway capacities are specified in cfs. The Colorado River at full natural flow is ≈22 000 cfs. 1 cfs = 0.028316846592 m³/s ≈ 28.317 L/s ≈ 448.8 US gpm.
