During the 60s, the oil exploration company Soekor (which is now a subsidiary of PetroSA, had explored the Karoo, however, discovered pools were not considered commercially viable. In the United States of using small mining innovative techniques such as horizontal drilling techniques and hydraulic fracturing of shale that increase the permeability near the shaft. The use of natural gas is even more important for it allows him to Sasol reduce its carbon footprint seriously compromised by its production of fuel from coal.
