Formula

Formula
gpm (US) = bbl/day × 0.02916667

Multiply any value in oil barrels per day by 0.02916667 to obtain the value in US gallons per minute.

Worked example

Convert 10000 bbl/day to gpm (US).

  1. 01Start with 10000 bbl/day.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10000 × 0.02916667 = 291.667 gpm (US).
Result10000 bbl/day = 291.667 gpm (US)

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from bbl/day to gpm (US)?
1 bbl/day equals 0.02916667 gpm (US). To convert, multiply the value in oil barrels per day by 0.02916667.
How do I convert 1 bbl/day to gpm (US)?
1 bbl/day = 0.0291667 gpm (US). For any value, multiply by 0.02916667.
How do I convert gpm (US) back to bbl/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 34.28571. So 1 gpm (US) = 34.2857 bbl/day.
When would I need to convert oil barrel per day to US gallon per minute?
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 gpm (US) 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).
