Oil from ANWR/ gas price

I have no expertise in the petroleum business. I am retired and
trying to convince my U.S. Representative Democrat Mike Thompson
(no relation) to change his view and vote to drill in ANWR. He
stated in a letter to me that it would take too long, 10 years,
to get oil to the Lower 48 and would only lower the gas price
about 1.5 cents.
As I read about Prudhoe Bay
the amount of petroleum being pumped has dropped from 1.5 m bbl/day
to 630,000 bbl/day. Would it be feasible to erect a pipeline
from ANWR to Prudhoe Bay and pump 830,000 bbl/day? Do you know
how to compute the reduction of gas price per 100,000 bbl of
crude sent out? I would like to read responses.
