Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 depending on which survey you follow... there are between 4.6 and 11 billion barrels of oil under ANWR useing the most optimistic administration figuers(everything is extractable, its high crude, its easy to get to, and there's a s much as the highest expectation)...at current usage rate.....11-13 months worth of oil most estimates are around 6-8 months of oil (the US consumes about 20 million barrels a day) this oil would take about a decade to come to market.... (have to build an infrastructure) assuming that there's a much as is hoped for, the new pipelines and dereks don't collapse under melting permafrost, it just doesn't leak out all over the place etc at the loss of a unique and vanishing natural heritage..... 6 months of oil hmmm.... like t orun out and buy that SUV now? >rvijay <rvijay07 >Mar 20, 2006 7:21 PM > > Arctic Drilling Question. > >Will Drilling in the Arctic for oil Occur ?
