| - | 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 |
