The IEA will release over 60 million barrels a day for at least 30 days into the markets, half of which will come directly out of the strategic reserves of the U.S.

That would be 1,800,000,000 barrels. I thought the release was 60 million barrels total. Does anyone know what the real amount of the release is?
