  2. The Cycle Source: Elements of Petroleum Geology

  3. Reservoirs and Amounts 1 Trillion - Number of barrels of oil produced since the start of the industry. 1.4 Trillion - Estimated number of barrels currently considered technically and economically accessible—out of 5 Trilliontotal barrels of petroleum resources in the ground. Source: The Quest

  4. Flux – Out (kg/yr) Anthropogenic = 3.91 x 1012oil Natural = 6.00 x 108oil Farwell 2009

  5. Residence Time *1 barrel = 138.8 kg Amount in reservoir = 5 trillion barrel* = 6.94 x1014 kg Natural seep = 6.00 x108 kg/year Anthropogenic = 3.91 x1012kg/year 1.05 x1014 kg/yr Reservoir 6.94 x1014 kg 6.00 x108 kg/yr 3.91 x1012kg/yr
