Description: Transcription: - Hey, wouldn't it be great 0:03 if we could get oil from a stone? 0:04 Look, this is shale with valuable oil locked in it. 0:06 There could be as much as 150 years supply 0:10 of oil in this shale, untapped, right here in this country. 0:13 But up to now, conventional methods 0:16 haven't let us get oil out on a large enough scale 0:18 to make it worthwhile. 0:21 But look at this. 0:22 Here's how Texaco and other companies 0:23 are experimenting with new ways to recover the oil, 0:25 by working with radio wave technology 0:28 to heat the oil and actually force it out of the shale. 0:31 Getting oil from shale this way 0:34 is at the experimental stage right now, 0:35 and the process could take years to perfect. 0:37 But, hey, with that much potential oil at stake, 0:40 anything we can try is worth the effort. 0:43 When it comes to finding you new sources of energy, 0:45 Texaco won't leave a stone unturned. 0:48 (uplifting music) 0:50 It's one more way Texaco is working to keep your trust. 0:53 (uplifting music) 0:57
