Total crude oil production in the Louisiana Field during the month of April 2018 was 3842000 barrels.

As April has 30 days , so in 30 days the number of barrels produced were = 3842000

Hence in one day the number of barrels produced were =

`(3842000)/(30)`

= 128066.66 barrels

So converting it to near whole number, we get 128067 barrels.

Hence the average daily production was 128067 barrels.
