About Converting Gallon per Minutes to Oil barrel per Weeks
Gallon per Minutes and Oil barrel per Weeks 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. Gallon per Minutes is most often used for us residential and commercial plumbing fixture flow ratings.
Formula
oil barrel per weeks = gallon per minutes × 240
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, and 1 oil barrel per weeks equals 2.628758e-7 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per minutes-to-oil barrel per weeks factor of 240.
Simple example
1 gal/min × 240 = 240 bbl/wk
1 gallon per minutes = 240 oil barrel per weeks.
Real-world example
60 gal/min × 240 = 14,400 bbl/wk
60 gallon per minutes = 14,400 oil barrel per weeks.

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.
