Well let&#x27;s be clear.<p>1. What he said was true about nodding donkeys. OPEC countries are starting to use EOR, but most of their fields do not require it. Some countries like Saudi Arablia do have heavy oil and they are starting to invest in these areas, but that does not invalidate the authors point - that the U.S.&#x2F;Canada can help with that shift.<p>2. re: fracking being new. almost all reporting calls fracking &quot;new&quot;, but they really are referring to the new form of fracking where it&#x27;s done horizontally through shale. It&#x27;s a minor misconception that can be forgiven considering the intent is really &quot;new fracking technology&quot;.<p>Edit: here&#x27;s a good video showing horizontal fracking -&gt; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=O0kmskvJFt0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=O0kmskvJFt0</a>
