Common Use Cases
-
Reporting oil field production rates in kilobarrel (US)/day and converting to gas flow rates
-
Calculating pipeline or tanker throughput capacities in different volumetric flow units
-
Measuring and monitoring natural gas consumption for residential or commercial purposes
-
Sizing gas supplies to appliances, industrial burners, or pilot lines using appropriate units
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure to consider the phase difference between liquid crude oil and gaseous flows when converting
-
Use the conversion tool to aid in cross-industry flow reporting and analysis
-
Confirm the operating conditions such as temperature and pressure when interpreting conversion results
-
Apply appropriate unit selections based on the scale and medium of flow to maintain clarity
-
Review conversion outcomes in context to avoid misinterpretation between liquid and gas flow measurements
Limitations
-
Kilobarrel (US)/day is intended for large-volume liquid petroleum flows, while hundred-cubic foot/hour suits lower-volume gaseous flows
-
Conversions may be affected by differences in phase, temperature, and pressure conditions
-
Users should be cautious when applying this conversion across different media without accounting for physical conditions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 kilobarrel (US)/day represent?
-
It represents a volumetric flow equal to 1,000 US oil barrels per day, commonly used in oil and gas production to indicate large-scale flow rates.
-
Why convert kilobarrel (US)/day to hundred-cubic foot/hour?
-
This conversion facilitates interpreting large oil volumetric flows into smaller gas flow rates, useful for utility monitoring and equipment sizing.
-
Are there any conditions to consider during conversion?
-
Yes, temperature, pressure, and phase differences between liquid oil and gas flows can impact the accuracy and relevance of converted values.
Key Terminology
-
Kilobarrel (US)/day
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one thousand US oil barrels per day, used to quantify large liquid oil flows in the petroleum industry.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate unit where 100 cubic feet of gas or air pass a point each hour, commonly used for smaller scale gas flow measurements.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The measurement of volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time, applicable to liquids and gases.
