North Slope is largest oil patch anywhere

To the editor:

I read in the newspaper that there is about 4 million barrels of oil on the North Slope and the oil is spotty around there.

If you consider on-shore and off-shore drilling on in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, Harrison Bay and Beechey Point, Flaxman Island and Barter Islands, there is a massive amount of oil there, in my opinion. I have made maps on the North Slope in the same places oil companies are drilling and re-drilling deeper, plus apparently they are planning to build a bridge at the same place my map shows oil.

In my opinion, this is the largest patch of oil anywhere. There should be more than 400 billion plus barrels of oil there.
