>Oil tankers carrying enough crude to satisfy 20 per cent of the world’s consumption are gathered off California’s coast with nowhere to go as fuel demand collapses. What does that mean? 20% of the daily consumption? 20% of the yearly consumption?

Looks like 20% of the daily consumption - the article mentions "more than 20 million barrels" and the global oil consumption is 97m+ barrels per day (https://www.worldometers.info/oil/ https://www.worldometers.info/oil/).
