There is a lot more. We have to keep in mind the perimenter that defines ANWR is but a small area in the extreme NE portion of Alaska. To the west is a large area that then goes into the NAVAI Petroleume Reserves (where Barrows is located). In short, there could be literaly tens of billions of barrels in these areas that has not even been considered due to restrictions places on where companies can even drill exploratory wells etc..
I wonder how many of us are aware of how much Alaskan oil was sent to the Richmond refineries, cracked into gasoline and other fractions and petrochemicals then sold directly to Japan for a number of years.
As usual, there is so much that is not presented that we all could make use of in attemting to understand the whole issue. I for one am lacking in this department.
