>>ANWR is currently off limits... did somebody do some seismic testing on areas that are not open for exploration?<< I was just looking at that the other day. The U.S.G.S ANWR estimates are based on 2-D seismic data collected in 1984/85, plus data from nearby wells drilled outside the boundaries. This article suggests that a modern 3-D seismic survey is needed, and hints that oil companies might be reluctant to even bid on ANWR leases without data from further seismic testing... Arctic riddle: How much oil is there? Interests clash when assessing Alaska's untapped crude marketwatch.com >>Yup, open up ANWR.
