It's an analogy. The average person knows Saudi Arabia exports a LOT of oil. This is 2x a LOT. So a WHOLE LOT.

I dunno if that's a good analogy if the desire is to make it sound huge. If it's a small enough quantity that it can be shipped by tankers (even huge super tankers), that doesn't sound like a lot compared to the size of the ocean.

The average person doesn't know how much a tanker holds.
They know Saudi Arabia = Oil.
