About Converting Oil barrel per Seconds to Cubic Kilometer per Days
Oil barrel per Seconds and Cubic Kilometer 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
cubic kilometer per days = oil barrel per seconds × 0.0000137365022818
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 0.158987294928 base units, and 1 cubic kilometer per days equals 11574.0740741 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per seconds-to-cubic kilometer per days factor of 0.0000137365022818.
Simple example
1 bbl/s × 0.00001373650228 = 0.0000137365 km3/d
1 oil barrel per seconds = 0.0000137365 cubic kilometer per days.
Real-world example
60 bbl/s × 0.00001373650228 = 0.0008241901 km3/d
60 oil barrel per seconds = 0.0008241901 cubic kilometer per days.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic kilometer per days are in 1 oil barrel per seconds?
1 oil barrel per seconds equals 0.0000137365 cubic kilometer per days, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert oil barrel per seconds to cubic kilometer per days?
Multiply the oil barrel per seconds value by 0.00001373650228. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic kilometer per days back to oil barrel per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic kilometer per days equals 72,798.73577 oil barrel per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a oil barrel per seconds?
Oil barrel per Seconds (bbl/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic kilometer per days?
Cubic Kilometer per Days (km3/d) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per seconds to cubic kilometer per days conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per seconds and cubic kilometer per days are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00001373650228 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.
