No but I found this.

Drill ANWR: Realism over emotion May 23, 2006

The United States Geological Survey has estimated ANWR holds a mean estimate of 10.4 billion barrels of recoverable oil. This would be the equivalent of a "Prudhoe Bay II." Murkowski, testifying on behalf of the National Governors Association on February 10, 2005, told the House Energy and Commerce Committee:

It also says this. Notice the date of 2006 above in link:

"At over $70 a barrel, the price of crude oil is nearly four times the spot price on the day back in 1995, 11 years ago, when then-President Clinton vetoed drilling in ANWR. They say there are no short-term fixes, I would agree with that, but if we had authorized drilling in ANWR 10 years ago, crude oil prices would not be, in my opinion, over $70-a-barrel today."

thanks very much. someone else linked me to this with a chart on the 3rd page and the last paragraph on page 2 explains the diff w/ shale

I thought I had heard a few times that the US had more oil than the middle east so with shale, I guess that’s true. But at what point does it make sense to drill for shale and then count it as reserves?

Anwar is critical! It's less than 80 miles from the existing pipeline which produces less every year. Right now it's at 700,000 barrels per day.
When the existing pipeline gets below 300,000 barrels per day it will be shut down.We need to start drilling there now.!!

Yes, take ANWR blockage right back to Clinton (just like Osama blockage)! And American coal blockage, too. More Clinton legacy-building to do here.

VOTE NOW!
DRILL HERE!
DRILL NOW!
