$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', ' ')the ANWR is now ice-free (due to a Republican AGW-induced employment program)


Wrong. ANWR has been "ice-free" for millions of years.

And please don't try to claim that George Bush travelled back in time to start AGW millions of years ago. You are just plain wrong as wrong can be on this one.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 't')hat oil will probably go the highest bidder, like Brazil or SA, and really not be available at all to the USA. So sad. :cry:


Please don't be sad. This fear, like your bizarre claim that Republicans started AGW to make ANWR ice-free, are based on irrational fantasies. ANWR oil will never be sold to either Brazil or Saudi---eventually it will be used to help fuel Seattle and Portland and San Francisco, just like Prudhoe Bay oil is used now. :)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', 'G')ood news for Alaska (and the US).

The TAPS pipeline flow was getting so low that it was hard to operate in the winter when temps hit -40 or so. If the new frakked oil site along the haul road can add some oil it will help keep the pipeline running until ANWR or Arctic Ocean oil comes on line in 10+ years.

Well I'll be frakked----there's oil in them thar hills!



Pipeline - Pfft. Just drill a horizontal to the refinery.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', ' ')AGW, which was caused by Republicans. :


A truly stupid claim. Next time you get in your pickup truck and start pumping CO2 out your tailpipe so you can pick up some beer at Wal-Mart, try looking in the mirror when you get stuck in the inevitable California traffic jam. Yup---by driving your rig instead of walking, you are wasting fossil fuel and causing AGW.

Pst and his fellow democrats in California doing their best to cause AGW, as per usual :roll:

Alaska explores selling Prudhoe Bay NG to Japan.

Alaska NG project to send LNG to Japan?

The Japanese need a new energy source after shutting down all their nukes. Maybe they'll buy all that Prudhoe Bay NG that has been reinjected for the last 30 years.....

This reply is to pstarr in another thread.

The following image comes from pg. 9 of this Powerpoint presentation here, with key points circled in red.

These are the same source rocks I discussed in TOD thread. Notice it says only about 20% of the oil generated by the source rocks have migrated. And notice it says the rest remains in the source rocks. In other words, of the 1 trillion boe on their 500,000 acres, some 200 billion have migrated somewhere (about half of which so far has already been discovered), and the other 800 billion remains in the source rock.

Remains. Not disappeared. Not seeped to the surface and eaten by bacteria. Remains.
