About Converting Oil barrel per Years to Oil barrel per Seconds
Oil barrel per Years and Oil barrel per Seconds 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
oil barrel per seconds = oil barrel per years × 3.168874e-8
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 oil barrel per years equals 5.038107e-9 base units, and 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 0.158987294928 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per years-to-oil barrel per seconds factor of 3.168874e-8.
Simple example
1 bbl/yr × 3.168874e-8 = 3.168874e-8 bbl/s
1 oil barrel per years = 3.168874e-8 oil barrel per seconds.
Real-world example
60 bbl/yr × 3.168874e-8 = 0.0000019013 bbl/s
60 oil barrel per years = 0.0000019013 oil barrel per seconds.

Multiply the oil barrel per years value by 3.168874e-8. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert oil barrel per seconds back to oil barrel per years?
Use the reverse factor: 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 31,556,952 oil barrel per years. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a oil barrel per years?
Oil barrel per Years (bbl/yr) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a oil barrel per seconds?
Oil barrel per Seconds (bbl/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per years to oil barrel per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per years and oil barrel per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 3.168874e-8 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.
