Even if the oil came in physical barrels, the contract is for 1000 barrels of oil, so you would need quite a lot of space in your back yard. That quantity is more like a railroad car full of oil. You might be able to arrange for the oil to be put in a tank car and delivered to a train track somewhere if you wanted to try this, though I suspect you would not make nearly as much money in the process as you think.
