Middle east oil = 583.6 billion barells
from another part of site :
current DAILY oil production = 75 million barrells
therefore 10bn barells = 133 days worth of oil production

Current US oil consumption = 20 million barrels per DAY
link

National Petroleum Reserve = 13.2 billion barrels
ANWR = 16 billion barrels
(using high estimate)

13.2 + 16 = 29.2bn barrels = 29200 million barrels

(29200 / 20) / 365 = 4 years of US consumption in Alaska
