Who does want a million barrels of crude in their back yard? As a very rough estimate, you'd have to stack them the better part of a mile high in mine.

I don’t think space is the issue. Shipping and safety (dealing with the one barrel that leaks) could easily eat $40/barrel if you’re not already set up for it.
