About this conversion
This page converts oil barrels per minute (bbl/min) into oil barrels per second (bbl/s), two units of volumetric flow rate.
The Oil Barrel (bbl) is a unit of volume. The Minute (min) is a unit of time.
The Oil Barrel (bbl) is a unit of volume. The Second (s) is a unit of time.
The formula is bbl/s = bbl/min × 0.0166667, based on the fixed relationship between these two flow rate units.
Flow rate is calculated as a volume unit divided by a time unit, so every combination of a volume unit and a time unit forms a valid, exact flow rate unit.
