Is 459 oil barrels as big as Halley's Comet?

It's about 0.00000000002 times as big as Halley's Comet
The size of Halley's Comet is about 25,000,000,000,000 oil barrels.
(Comet Halley, officially "1P/Halley") (volume calculated based on 2005 dimensions)
Halley's Comet, the famous comet visible to observers on Earth approximately every 76 years, has a peanut- or potato-shaped nucleus made of rock, dust, ice, and various frozen gasses. The nucleus measures approximately 15 km by 8 km by 8 km, which yields a calculated volume of 25,000,000,000,000 oil barrels. The coma of the Comet — the trail of sublimated gasses that give the Comet its visibility — may be up to 100,000 km in length.
