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 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.
