FAQ

What is the conversion factor from bbl/day to bbl/hr?
1 bbl/day equals 0.04166667 bbl/hr. To convert, multiply the value in oil barrels per day by 0.04166667.
How do I convert 1 bbl/day to bbl/hr?
1 bbl/day = 0.0416667 bbl/hr. For any value, multiply by 0.04166667.
How do I convert bbl/hr back to bbl/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 24. So 1 bbl/hr = 24 bbl/day.
When would I need to convert oil barrel per day to oil barrel per hour?
Flow-rate conversions show up in pump curve interpretation, control valve sizing (Cv vs Kv), and aligning vendor specifications with process simulation outputs. bbl/day to bbl/hr is a frequently needed conversion for flow datasheet preparation.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
