In 2010 the Macondo well drilled by the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico blew out, spilling ~ 5 million barrels of oil into the Gulf over 87 days.
A) Calculate the energy content of the spilled oil in joules or suitable multiples.
B) In 2015 the U.S. consumed oil at a rate of 19.38 million barrels per day. Estimate how long the spilled oil at the Deepwater Horizon could have supplied the entire U.S. demand for oil.
