One common term is barrels per day (BPD, BOPD, bbl/d, bpd, bd, or b/d), where 1 BPD is equivalent to 0.0292 gallons per minute. [15] One BPD also becomes 49.8 tonnes per year. [ 15 ] At an oil refinery, production is sometimes reported as barrels per calendar day (b/cd or bcd), which is total production in a year divided by the days in that year.
A barrel or cask is a hollow cylindrical container with a bulging center, longer than it is wide. [1] [2] They are traditionally made of wooden staves and bound by wooden or metal hoops. The word vat is often used for large containers for liquids, usually alcoholic beverages; [3] a small barrel or cask is known as a keg. [4]
Due to the risk of confusion with the SI convention where the "M" prefix stands for "mega" representing million, the Society of Petroleum Engineers recommends in their style guide that abbreviations or prefixes M or MM are not used for barrels of oil or barrel of oil equivalent, but rather that thousands, millions or billions are spelled out.

The product is dead crude which is stored in stock tanks operating at just above atmospheric pressure. [3] Offshore production also produces a dead crude but is often spiked with natural gas liquids (NGL) as a convenient transport route for these liquids. This is known as live crude. The NGL is flashed off and recovered in the onshore ...
All those multiples are commonly combined with barrel of oil equivalent from the level of individual production units output per day to level of petroleum reserves. Metric regions commonly use the tonne of oil equivalent (toe), or more often million toe (Mtoe). Since this is a measurement of mass, any conversion to barrels of oil equivalent ...
Plastic surgeons say that, in an effort to have work done that looks natural and understated, more people are turning to facial fat transfers, or "face BBLs," over fillers, which are easy to ...
The Barroso 2 well in Cabimas, Venezuela, in December 1922 flowed at around 100,000 barrels (16,000 m 3) per day for nine days, plus a large amount of natural gas. [ 14 ] Baba Gurgur near Kirkuk , Iraq , an oilfield known since antiquity , erupted at a rate of 95,000 barrels (15,100 m 3 ) a day in 1927.
Desulphated water flows to the top of the deaerator column, this operates at a partial vacuum (0.3 bara) sustained by the deaerator vacuum unit. The deaerator internals comprise three packed beds. Deaerated water is taken from the base of the deaerator by transfer pumps which deliver 1632 m 3 /hr at 3.6 barg to the degasser surge drum. [4]
