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. |

Are you referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerogen?
At any rate, this is why I would like to see a better investigation of the subject
