Tallinn (Estonia), Dec 17 (Petra) – Jordan has approximately 40-80 billion tons of oil shale (about 34 billion barrels of shale oil) that could last for over 900 years at current consumption, said a top official at an Estonian company tapping the Kingdom’s reserves of oil shale.

Director of Jordan Project at Enfit, a world oil shale exploration and development company, Andres Anijalg, has recently said during a meeting with a number of Jordanian journalists, that his company will carry out two projects in Jordan; an electricity generation project and oil extraction project from oil shale.
