man1:And there’s what’s left of a moat around the place. We could widen it and burn some oil as a barrier.
man2:Have we got enough oil?
man1:That’s the problem. The moat has to be bigger than I anticipat.
Does man1 mean "because The moat has to be bigger than I anticipat, we don't have enough oil"
OR
"we don't have enough oil and that's why moat has to be bigger than I anticipat"?

It sounds like man1 believes there is not enough oil for the moat if it is widened.

Help you with this conversation?
Did you actually write this dialog? The grammar in it is atrocious!!! There are so many grammatical errors in it, that I don't know where to begin. And it's A-N-T-I-C-I-P-A-T-E. There's an E on the end. Use the check spelling.
