I understand that its like the size of 2 foot ball fields, bunz would know more than me so hopefully he will tell us both for sure

If I recall correctly, the size they want to drill on is something like 1,000,000 acres. (section 1002) That 1,000,000 acres is on a barren tundra as well, and nothing like the other 19 million acres to the South that people always demand we need to protect.

That is the size of the entire section, not sure what the exact acreage is on the actual proposed drill site.

Whoever got this one, your turn to post a question.

funny how it went from a football feild to 1000000 acres lol

also part of it is also the roads, and other things needed to keep it going that develop part of the land. Also there are questions to how much oil actuly can be found, and its not a sure fire bet they even get oil I belive.
 
Well I will leave it to the next person who wants to post a question. But the answer to the question is the ANWR is about the size of South Carolina as someone already pointed out. The area that would be proposed is the acrage of a medium sized city. In terms of SC size, think of it as Charleston the capital city.

Also, there is no question that there is oil there, and a signifigant amount, not enough to cure our foreign oil demands, but it does decrease those levels, and puts Americans to work, and increases to revenues to a US state, rather than buying oil from someone like the Saudis.
 
Also, as a secondary point, the roads and infastucture that would be needed is minimal, as the use of ice roads would move the heavy equipment into place and would be there until drilling is done and without permanent roads nor pipelines that would be necessary to bring equipment in and pump oil out.
 
Business management?

There are two lines of thinking. Some will tell you Civil Engineering, but the more credible evidence suggests it was Public Administration.

You want to post one PLC?
