Convert US barrels per second to Cubic feet per day
Convert US barrels per second (bbl/s) to Cubic feet per day (ft³/d) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ft³/d = bbl/s × 485100
About US barrels per second
The US barrel per second (bbl/s) equals 0.158987294928 m³/s, an extremely large flow rate used only for catastrophic spill-rate estimates and very large pipeline surge calculations. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill peaked at ≈60 000 bbl/d ≈ 0.000694 bbl/s; major subsea pipeline ruptures may briefly exceed 1 bbl/s during decompression. 1 US bbl/s = 0.158987 m³/s ≈ 158.987 L/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.
