Ask a Landman

We’re talking Alaska, off shore, every national forest any and every place they think they can find oil.

Let’s say we drilled every drop in Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico, etc, how long could the USA run on that oil and how much would it cost?
I’m guessing gas would be .00, and it would last maybe 20 years.
Cheaper? Supply and demand much?

Yes, we still should go on with the solar panels, windmills and natural gas etc. but we will still be using oil and gas in many products like plastic etc.. for hundreds of years. We could be completely independent of the East if we would. Do you think they should drill on our [...]

Why is it illegal for the US to drill for oil in the Atlantic Ocean? Why is it illegal for the US to drill for oil in large potions of the Gulf Of Mexico? Why is it illegal for the US to drill for oil off the West Coast? Why is it [...]

My friend sent me this from an op-ed:
** Palin announced a 0 bounty for wolves because wolves prey on moose and caribou, two favorite targets for hunters in Alaska.
** Palin instituted a program to encourage hunters to kill wolves so that there would be more moose and caribou for hunters to kill.
** Palin has [...]

It is the fault of the Dems that we cannot drill in our backyard when we have so much oil , oil shale and natural gas . We could be off foreign oil in less than five years if allowed to drill off the coasts and Alaska, plus be allowed to remove the oil shale [...]

My father in law told me that between Alaska, ocean drilling, and other states such as Texas, we have enough oil to last for years, but we are hoarding it to save for when the rest of the world runs out. If we drilled it, gas prices could be much lower. I have also heard [...]

Oil and Coal are called "fossil fuels". It is pretty clear where coal comes from. there are Peat bogs, then brown coal, then bituminous coal, then anthricite coal. There seems to be a pretty definate relationship.
Oil fields are found in Alaska, the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Persian Gulf, Venezuala, California, Canada. [...]

Why do you still think that drilling for more oil off the coast of our beaches, or up in Alaska, will actually make our gas/oil prices low? The US Dept of Energy’s EIA even says that the OPEC nations would likely cut their production to make up for any new oil we produced, to keep [...]

From an article:
The Fish and Wildlife Service issued regulations this week providing legal protection to seven oil companies planning to search for oil and gas in the Chukchi Sea off the northwestern coast of Alaska.
Polar bears or Pacific walruses will be severely harmed by the activities of the oil companies over the next five years.

…gas on federal property?
Why is that our US government will not take a stand against the idiots of states that have cut off drilling offshore for oil and gas, like Florida, California, the East Coast and Alaska. I think Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana & others should cut them off of oil and gas until [...]

I would like to know why we continue to buy oil from OPEC nations but yet we drill off of our own shores, pipe in from Alaska, and own several rigs in the pacific near Mexico and refine it here? Why are we not using our own fuel and rather ship to an off shore [...]

Today, the House voted on the Drill Responsibly in Leased Lands (DRILL) Act, H.R. 6515, a bill to promote the responsible domestic production of oil and natural gas, particularly in 20 million acres of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. While 244 Members voted for the bill, it failed to get the two-thirds support necessary for passage.
There [...]

The NY Times reports that [QUOTE]

"The Obama administration is proposing to open vast expanses of water along the Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the north coast of Alaska to oil and natural gas drilling, much of it for the first time, officials said Tuesday"

Is this change we can believe in?

Obama clears way for oil drilling off US coasts
"Reversing a ban on oil drilling off most U.S. shores, President Barack Obama on Wednesday announced an expansive new policy that could put oil and natural gas platforms in waters along the southern Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and part of Alaska."

Would you be willing to support drilling for oil in Alaska and offshore if it would bring gasoline back down to /gal……even if you once were against it.

I don’t understand how it can harm wildlife in Alaska.
Alaska isn’t the only place for wildlife…
Animals have all of the North Pole and Canada and Russia and all to roam about and around.
Why would million of people wanna move out there in Alaska for? Alaska has blizzard and snow for 6 months.
And we only [...]

I heard that when we went off the gold standard we tied the value of dollar to oil because we found a ton of oil up in Alaska. Instead of drilling up there we made a deal to buy foreign oil and tie our dollar to oil. We are keeping the oil off the [...]

Sure, ending foreign dependency on oil is what everyone claims this will do for us, as well as lower gas prices, but is this really the case? How long would it take for us to actually extract/refine the oil before it sees its way into the market? How much would it cost to setup such [...]

If he is so intent on doing something NOW, why doesn’t he just freeze the price of gas at a decent price???
Or put more of the existing rigs in TEXAS to work if he wants more oil????
Drilling for oil in our oceans, and trying to drill for oil in Alaska, is NOT the solution for [...]

If not, how does Fox News explain their theory of "supply and demand" in reference to the price of oil?
Why has the price of oil fallen so drastically without drilling for more of it either offshore or in Alaska?

The price of gasoline soared after the Exxon Valdez grounded in Alaska. As a matter of a fact, all petroleum companies increased their prices to rescue Exxon… And that was strange to me at the time..
