Actually a oil future is basically a promise to make oil for a certain price. There are also are vegetable futures

That means the oil wasn't produced yet

But I do remember a story (on daily wtf) where a lady bought coal futures and somehow forgot or didn't manage to sell, and a coal barge turned up in the river behind her office!

Also, Crude Barrels have a shelf life so you definitely wouldn't store them like that for any extended period of time.

A future means that they will be created at some point in the future. Basically its an agreement to buy for a certain price in the future regardless of what the markets are doing.
