Suuuure it’s all “dead dinosaurs”.
Suuuure.
Suuuure.
1 gallon is 231 cubic inches
There are 42 gallons in a barrel of oil.
Saudi Arabias oil reserves are estimated to be around 300 BILLION barrels.
300 billion barrels x 42 gallons= 12.6 TRILLION gallons
There are 1.6845 TRILLION cubic feet in 300 billion barrels.
There are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot.
There are 748 gallons in 100 cubic ft.
In order to express large volumes of water use, this water use is expressed in acre feet numbers. One acre foot equals 43,560 cubic feet or 435.6 hundred cubic feet and is equivalent to 326,700 gallons.
1 sq mile = 640 acres
1 sq mile x 1 foot deep = 209,088,000 gallons
That means 300 billion barrels would be 10 miles x 10 miles square x 604 feet deep.
Thats an awful lot of dinosaurs to NOT DECOMPOSE, but compress and turn into oil.
Thats JUST Saudi Arabias known oil reserves.
The average person is about 155 lbs.
1 gallon of water weighs 8.34 lbs. That means 1 person displaces about 18.5 gallons 12.6 TRILLION gallons divided by 18.5 gallons = 681,081,081,081
or 681 BILLION people
There are currently 7.112 BILLON people on earth
SOoooooo...It would take almost 100 TIMES the ENTIRE earths population of people to fill the volume of JUST Saudi Arabias oil fields.
