re" You have to admit that it is possible, although unlikely, that we could have discovered several Prudhoe's in the past 25 or so years of the drilling bans."

If there are anymore Prudhoe's to be found they will be found in Prudhoe country including the North Pole.....really gives you an idea about how much is left doesn't it.

There was never a ban on drilling other than in the OCS.....the number of drills, as expected, depended on the cost of oil at the time.... that data is available and I will retrieve it...
