MH370 range

For this aircraft to have flown to the current target area it would have travelled about 7,000 km.
Is that possible? Even with a generous allowance for sea drift, is that possible?
The return journey from KUL-PEK is around 4,600 miles so if MH370 was tankering fuel, with reserves, it could easily have travelled 7000 km.
