I am tired. I have been on for some fifteen hours, past my bed time.
My original statement was based on web sites that said, and other Freeper made comment on, that one estimate was that ANWR could contain a total of 10 billion barrels total.
From a web site using 2004 info, I found that the US dailey consumption in oil was 20 million gallons. I multiplied that by 360 days and came up with 7 billion some barrels.
So if one look at the total 10 billion estimate over according to some web sites, e.g. USGS site, etc., was the total capacity of ANWR. AND. This oil would be extracted over between 7 to 10 years based on the web site verbage, that in essence we would not bolster our supply by any signifcant amount.
Daily US consumption = 20 million
1 Year US consumption = 7 billion
Life of ANWR wells 10 billion total, with say a rough average at full production of 1 billion per year.
So if you read above carefully you will see what I based my original statements on.
Afterward Freeper thakney corrected my old data with what he knows is current. Some 36 billion barrels for ANWR 2002 Site.
He added that a lot more would once full production be able to be pumped on a yearly basis then my old data provided. I conceed graciously and thank him for his correctlions.
I also in each replie stated no matter what the numbers where we MUST drill and even convince congress that other areas of potential Alaskan soil with high probability areas should be drilled. So I would have assumed at that point it was a dead issue. But I respect your input so felt obligated to respond. I gotta hit the sack, my eye balls are shot. Do have a pleasant upcoming day.
