Do you know what the know proven reserves in ANWR are?
ZERO barrels. None, nada, zip.

Got a cite for that?

[Rest of blather snipped]

Blather, eh? Lets see you cite *any* proven reserves in
ANWR.

First, you can start with the USGS "Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge, 1002 Area, Petroleum Assessment, 1998,
Including Economic Analysis" report the Congress,

http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs-0028-01/fs-0028-01.pdf

See Figure 2, for a map that shows the location of the
one and the only exporation well ever drilled in ANWR
(by Chevron on 1985). Chevron was so tight lipped about
that particular hole that they even shipped the waste to
the Lower-48 for disposal at their own facilities rather
than risk any of it getting into the hands of a
competitor to be analyzed if it were sent to the nearby
facilities at Prudhoe Bay.

And do read the rest of the report to find where it
lists proven reserves. You might learn a lot, but it
will not give you any numbers for *proven* reserves,
because there are none.

Ball's in your court... and you might go read the rest
of that "blather" and see if it isn't just as precisely
correct as the comment about zero proven reserves i
ANWR.
