Convert US barrels per minute to Cubic feet per day
Convert US barrels per minute (bbl/min) to Cubic feet per day (ft³/d) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ft³/d = bbl/min × 8085
About US barrels per minute
The US barrel per minute (bbl/min) equals 0.158987294928/60 ≈ 2.650×10⁻³ m³/s, used in oil-pipeline pigging operations and tanker loading/unloading rates. A large crude-oil loading arm at a terminal can transfer 20 000 bbl/h = ≈333 bbl/min = ≈52 000 US gal/min. Pipeline operators monitor block-valve isolation in bbl/min to detect ruptures. 1 bbl/min ≈ 2.650×10⁻³ m³/s.
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.
