I agree Pottermore, we could very well have a very large deposit and here's my reasoning

'Basin modelling studies indicate that the Saturn complex is highly likely to be situated immediately above a Kudu Shale source kitchen that is mature for oil, confirming that the intra-Saturn leads are optimally located to receive hydrocarbon charge.'

if we recall, when Ian made the 40bill slip, he then continued that a source kitchen would also need to be present to fill reservoir of that magnitude. The above statement confirms we not only have a source kitchen, but it resides directly below the 'Saturn complex'

'Volume of Saturn complex'

Assuming an oil field existed directly below the entire saturn complex with an area of 2400km and depth of .28km, (per historical data) we have 672 cubic km and potential for 4,226,752,837,730 barrels
which is actually 4 trillion barrels lol
This sounds insanely high and not inclusive of isolated trap.
If my maths is right however, it confirms that we have ample room to hold 40 billion barrels.
