About Converting Oil barrel per Days to Gallons per Fortnight
Oil barrel per Days and Gallon per Fortnight both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
gallons per fortnight = oil barrel per days × 588
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 oil barrel per days equals 0.00000184013072833 base units, and 1 gallon per fortnight equals 3.129474e-9 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per days-to-gallon per fortnight factor of 588.
Simple example
1 bbl/d × 588 = 588 gal/fn
1 oil barrel per days = 588 gallons per fortnight.
Real-world example
60 bbl/d × 588 = 35,280 gal/fn
60 oil barrel per days = 35,280 gallons per fortnight.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallons per fortnight are in 1 oil barrel per days?
1 oil barrel per days equals 588 gallons per fortnight, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert oil barrel per days to gallon per fortnight?
Multiply the oil barrel per days value by 588. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per fortnight back to oil barrel per days?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per fortnight equals 0.0017006803 oil barrel per days. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a oil barrel per days?
Oil barrel per Days (bbl/d) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a gallon per fortnight?
Gallon per Fortnight (gal/fn) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per days to gallon per fortnight conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per days and gallon per fortnight are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 588 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
