Unit Description
Barrel per Minute (bbl/min)
Definition
Barrel per minute (bbl/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in barrels passing through a given area per minute. It's used for higher-rate petroleum industry applications and pipeline measurements.
History
The bbl/min unit developed for measuring higher flow rates in petroleum operations such as major pipelines, large-scale pumping operations, and refinery processes where barrel-per-day measurements would result in very large numbers requiring conversion for operational purposes.
Current Use
Bbl/min is used in petroleum pipeline operations, large-scale oil pumping systems, refinery process control, and major oil handling facilities. It's standard for pipeline flow measurements, large pump specifications, and high-capacity oil handling equipment in the petroleum industry.
Barrel per Day (bbl/d)
Definition
Barrel per day (bbl/d) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in barrels passing through a given area per day. One barrel equals 42 US gallons, making this unit standard in the petroleum industry.
History
The bbl/d unit was developed specifically for the petroleum industry to measure oil production, refinery throughput, and pipeline capacity. It became the global standard for oil industry measurements, providing appropriate scaling for oil wells, refineries, and international oil trade.
Current Use
Bbl/d is universally used in the petroleum industry for measuring oil production rates, refinery capacity, pipeline throughput, and oil consumption. It's standard for oil well production reports, refinery specifications, international oil trade statistics, and petroleum industry analysis.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Barrel per Minute to Barrel per Day
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/min = 1,062.86 bbl/d
- Conversion Formula: bbl/d = bbl/min × 1,062.86
- Calculation: 1 bbl/min × 1,062.86 = 1,062.86 bbl/d
Convert 10 Barrel per Minute to Barrel per Day
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/min = 1,062.86 bbl/d
- Conversion Formula: bbl/d = bbl/min × 1,062.86
- Calculation: 10 bbl/min × 1,062.86 = 10,628.6 bbl/d
Convert 100 Barrel per Minute to Barrel per Day
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/min = 1,062.86 bbl/d
- Conversion Formula: bbl/d = bbl/min × 1,062.86
- Calculation: 100 bbl/min × 1,062.86 = 106,286 bbl/d
Convert 1,000 Barrel per Minute to Barrel per Day
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/min = 1,062.86 bbl/d
- Conversion Formula: bbl/d = bbl/min × 1,062.86
- Calculation: 1,000 bbl/min × 1,062.86 = 1.06286e+6 bbl/d
