After reading your original post and Maurice's replies I wondered about the following; how much oil does this subterranean biomass(greater than the surface biomass) consume per day, what is the total volume of the earth, what is the estimate of the Gold oil reserves, and how long will the oil reserves last given that they are being consumed by both subterranean and surface consumers.

I estimate a Gold biomass of 8X10^9 kg.(2 times the estimated surface biomass(again estimated as 10 times the human biomass)). Assume a consumption of 20 kcal/kg/day.
1.6x10^11 kcal/day. 1x10^7 kcal=1 tonne of oil. so the Gold biomass consumes 1,6x10^4 tonnes of oil per day. The earth weighs 6x10^23 tonnes. Assume that 1.6x10^16 tonnes is oil. Then it will take 1x10^12 days or 3x10^9 years to consume this oil. Assume that the oil was produced around 1x10^9 years ago and the Gold biomass began to consume it some time after. so we have 2x10^9 years of Gold oil supply which we have to steal from the Gold biomass.

So here is the reason for the Iraq war, to learn how to steal oil from the Gold biomass.
