10,000 barrels per year seems super low. Some figures I found of google
estimated total fossil fuel in the earth 1.90E+16 tons (all the hydrocarbons, not just easily extracted)
say it got there over a billion years that would be approx 2E7 tons/yr or 1E8 barrels.
ie. 100,000,000 barrels equivalent a year.
