ANWR at 20 million barrels per day of usage and assuming 10 billion in reserves [if it could be produced that fast which of course it can’t] would supply the U.S. for a year and a half. It would replace the imported portion of the U.S. consumption for nearly two years. Obviously if it turns out to be 20 billion, which is well beyond expectations, double these numbers.

For the world, divide the 10 billion by 86 million to arrive less than four months. "Yes" we need to drill ANWR, but should not be deluded into believing that it is going to save us.

ANWR would probably flow at 1.5 MMBPD after reach peak then likely taper off flowing for more than 30 years.

How do you propose that ANWR be able to produce 20 million barrels per day?
