interesting until you realize the total reserve here is 2 billion barrels which means that the by now the reserve would be empty
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 932329No they say its 3.5Billion barrels in the reserve....
480million gallons =Answer: 480000000 gal(US Liq) = 11,428,571.428 bbl(US Oil) 11,428,000 barrles a day.
3,500,000,000 /11,428,000 = 306 DAYS until empty......
BUT THESE FIGURES CANNOT BE RIGHT CAN THEY??? SOMEBODY FOR FUCK SAKE FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON... HOW ON EARTH CAN IT BE 480,000,000 GALLONS A DAY.
ixtoc1 = 3,518,000 barrels only a fraction of the OPs estimated barrels PER DAY!.
Sorry OP but your estimation is retardedly high.
