So, they refined 27,300,000,000 gallons with 3,846 million KWh of electricity 2,910 million Therms of gas -- that is 3,846,000,000 kWh and 2,910,000,000 Therms?

And to extract 14,295,222,606 gallons of oil, it took 7,266 million KWh of electricity and 1,061 million Therms of natural gas -- that is 7,266,000,000 kWh and 1,061,000,000 Therms.

By these numbers, extraction takes more energy than refining? I'm not sure why that would be.
