ANWAR does not equate to much oil.

The most oil per square mile predicted in any undeveloped area in the world of compariable size.

Yeah, not much, just more than anyplace else not already flowing. And it is ANWR, only one "A".

Whoops. Sorry. But as I said it's estimated gross yields depending on many factores will over a period of 7-10 years before the wells run dry, not amount to any significant amount of oil being extracted. Put another way, it will yield less then a weeks supply of crude oil when comparing the US daily need for oil. That is at least what I had come up with based on earlier articles and visiting petroleum sites, reading the charts, estimates etc.. BUT I am all for the drilling. I hope in no way I had sound like I am in any way against it. In fact as you know, only some 5% of ANWR, is targeted. I say why not open the whole damn place up if it can be proven vast amounts of oil could be extracted at a reasonable cost.
