Completely different technology. Our first film, Switch.

And if you're allowed, and the environmental regulations allow it. Right. Because the cool part about, we featured those in our first film, the stuff at the surface that they're mining... And for your viewer, I mean, these are conventional oil reservoir that's been impacted by surface waters and the oil, all the light stuff came off. So it's really heavy kind of tar-like oil.

So for your listeners, that's what we're talking about here. So you got to move tar out of rock. Not easy. You can mine it at the surface. That's pretty environmentally destructive, but that's 20%. 80% is below the surface. And what they do is they drill wells down in and they inject steam at high pressures because when you put heat on tar, it becomes a liquid and kind of a sludge.

And then they flow this sludge in and they add more natural gas and other things and they make it into an oil again and move it away. So they're literally taking... tar or heavy oil sands away that way. Huge resource.

No, it's not. And here's the biggest, here's kind of the mic drop on it all. Okay. The U.S. and Canada and Argentina are really the only ones producing oil and gas from shale today. We're not the only ones that have it.

But the big ones, because these are the source rocks, it's the kitchen. This is where the oil was made millions of years ago. and then leaked off into these conventional reservoirs with time, heat and pressure and time, up comes the oil. Those are the source rocks, that's what they're called. Mer de huile in French, you know, the mother of oil, sits down there.

Where you find these conventional oil and gas fields, like we have in the Middle East and Russia and South America, et cetera, there are mature source rocks leaking oil and gas. Some of the most mature and biggest source rocks in the world are in, you guessed it, the Middle East and Russia. They've been quietly testing them, quietly seeing, hey, let's learn that technology. How do we get ready?

Because it's more expensive.
