What is a barrel (US)/minute unit?

A barrel (US)/minute is a volumetric flow rate representing one US petroleum barrel (42 US gallons) passing per minute, typically used in oil and gas industries.

Why convert barrel (US)/minute to acre-foot/year?

Converting barrel (US)/minute to acre-foot/year enables comparison of petroleum liquid flow rates with water resource flow measurements used in agriculture and municipal planning.

Can this conversion apply to any fluid?

This conversion assumes volume flow rates and does not consider fluid density; it is suited for liquid flow volumes without adjusting for fluid properties.
