Thanks. Still, 20-40 is nothing to sneeze at. :-))

Nope. Prudhoe Bay is about 20 BBO. The largest field in the continental US is the East Texas Field and it is 5 BBO. The good thing is that this will open up other non-conventional oil plays around the country as most to date have been gas plays. Horizontal drilling is not new in these types of plays for gas but it is for oil. If you could find the next one, you would be rewarded royally.

We really need to open up ANWR and the Shelf, too. It seems that high gas prices are finally having an effect on people to see the wrongheadedness of refusing to drill for what we know is there.
