You didn’t do the math either did you. That amount of oil, 690,000 barrels, would FIT in a cube 400 feet by 400 feet by 400 feet. Not much more than the cube of a football field long by a football field wide by a football field field tall.
I started to do the math and then I thought ‘whats the point?’ so I did not finish it. I’ll take your word on it.

have a good weekend.
