like big numbers ....check this one out

Less widely ballyhooed but potentially much more precious to spacefarers would be the stony asteroids called carbonaceous chondrites. Ceres appears to be one of these. They’re rich not only in water but kerogen, that petrochemical ooze that Russia, China, and Brazil currently extract from oil shale. Give or take a zero or two, science writer and space colony advocate Marshall Savage estimates there are at least 1,000,000,000,000,000 tons of kerogen out there.

tons is 2200 lbs.....so that is a real big number describing kerogen...... opps i should a said oil.
