About These Units
Barrel per Day (bbl/day)
Barrels per day (bpd or bbl/d) is the standard oil industry production unit. US oil barrel = 42 gallons = 159 liters. Saudi Arabia produces ~10 million bpd. Single well: 10-10,000 bpd. Global oil consumption: ~100 million bpd.
Cubic Meter per Second (m³/s)
Cubic meters per second (m³/s) is the SI unit of volumetric flow rate, also called cumec. Used for rivers (Amazon: 209,000 m³/s), industrial processes, and large pumping stations. One m³/s equals 1,000 liters per second or 15,850 US gallons per minute.
