Jordan taps into vast oil shale reserves

Jordan's oil shale reserves are one of the richest in the world, but for years investing on exploration did not seem feasible for the country. Previously dependent on Egyptian natural gas, Jordan now plans to focus on its own oil reserves. Al Jazeera's Nisreen Al Shamayleh reports from Al Lajjoun, in southern Jordan.
