Output from Prudhoe Bay peaked in 1998 at 2 million barrels per day.
It's been
declining ever since. Every year, less and less oil is pumped
from the Prudhoe Bay oil field. Today, less than 700,000 barrels a day
are being pumped south.
Total production from 1977 through 2005 was 13 billion barrels. As of
August 2006, BP estimated that only 2 billion recoverable barrels remain.
Prudhoe Bay is running dry.
