What are "that" and "which" indicating without further context?

1. The amount of oil is needed for one week that the rocket is expected to take to reach the moon.

2. The amount of oil is needed for one week which the rocket is expected to take to reach the moon.

3. The amount of oil is needed for one week, which the rocket is expected to take to reach the moon.


I wonder what "that" and "which" is indicating in each sentence.

I think without further context, "that" and "which" are all indicating "the amount of oil" or "one week".

Is my thinking right?

I already know well those sentences are very sloppy as they look so ambiguous, but please could you answer my question given those sentences?
