Title: Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fuel Equivalents to Potential Oil Production from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR)
Authors: Fred Sissine, Resources, Science, and Industry Division 
Abstract: This report describes the range of estimates for potential oil production from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). The high and low estimates for an economically recoverable oil resource or "reserve" are then expressed in terms of an average or "levelized" daily production over assumed 20- and 50-year reserve lifetimes. Also, the report looks at measures for reducing oil use or displacing it with alternative fuels to see if any one measure or combination of measures would constitute an option for yielding an equivalent to the amount of oil that is projected to be available if ANWR were brought into production.
