What is barrel (US)/day used for?

Barrel (US)/day measures volumetric flow rates of petroleum liquids, commonly used to report crude oil production and transport volumes.

Why convert from barrel (US)/day to acre-foot/day?

Converting to acre-foot/day helps relate petroleum flow rates to water volumes, facilitating integrated resource planning between oil and water sectors.

Does this conversion consider fluid properties like density or temperature?

No, the conversion focuses only on volumetric flow and assumes similar densities; temperature and pressure effects are not included.
