About Converting Cubic foot per Minutes to Oil barrel per Hours
Cubic foot per Minutes and Oil barrel per Hours 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. Cubic foot per Minutes is most often used for the standard unit for rating hvac airflow, compressed-air equipment output, and fan/blower performance.
Formula
oil barrel per hours = cubic foot per minutes × 10.6864564007
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, and 1 oil barrel per hours equals 0.00004416313748 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per minutes-to-oil barrel per hours factor of 10.6864564007.
Simple example
1 ft3/min × 10.6864564 = 10.6864564 bbl/h
1 cubic foot per minutes = 10.6864564 oil barrel per hours.
Real-world example
60 ft3/min × 10.6864564 = 641.187384 bbl/h
60 cubic foot per minutes = 641.187384 oil barrel per hours.

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.
