I'm waiting on you.
I'd suggest you start with estimated production figures of refineable crude from the fields you mention, in bbls per day, vs. current crude importation levels (also in BPD).
However, I must warn you -- Kool Aid withdrawal may not be pleasant
P.S. Assume a sale price of $200/bbl if you think that will help the estimated production figures.
Where are you getting these numbers from??? You are trying to tell me that it is cheaper to have a super tanker haul crude oil across the ocean to be refined here in America, than it is to take oil already found in America and refine it in those same refineries? Granted if we were to switch to American oil only, there would need to be added infrastructure but that would happen almost overnight and would not prevent us from being completely self sufficient.
If you are referring to the estimated production figures for existing and operating oil fields then i agree, its not currently enough to supply our demand, but that is because we are importing so much unrefined from overseas. That’s why i want to drill MORE oil fields~! Drill Drill Drill!
