About Converting Oil barrel per Days to Kiloliter per Days
Oil barrel per Days and Kiloliter per Days 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
kiloliter per days = oil barrel per days × 0.158987294928
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 kiloliter per days equals 0.0000115740740741 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per days-to-kiloliter per days factor of 0.158987294928.
Simple example
1 bbl/d × 0.1589872949 = 0.1589872949 kL/d
1 oil barrel per days = 0.1589872949 kiloliter per days.
Real-world example
60 bbl/d × 0.1589872949 = 9.539237696 kL/d
60 oil barrel per days = 9.539237696 kiloliter per days.

How do I convert kiloliter per days back to oil barrel per days?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloliter per days equals 6.28981077 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 kiloliter per days?
Kiloliter per Days (kL/d) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per days to kiloliter per days conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per days and kiloliter per days are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.1589872949 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.
