A relative comparison. Under best predictions based on stuff I have read, we could expect some 8-10 billion barrels from the proposed ANWR site. I am sure estimates vary but a few years back figures, the US consumes about 20million barrels of oil per day (that is of course in the form of many refined end products, e.g. gas, lubricants, petrochemicals).
So with no intention of spoiling this news, 700mb. won't last long for the world to eat up, err drink up.

The way the liberals are protecting ANWAR I think there is a whole lot more oil under that ice than we know.
