Economic reasons - importing oil and refinig it still is cheaper.
Similar to the Canadian oils sands - uninteresting until the price of oil went up.
As the price of gas will rise further, this old technology will become a valid alternative.
Though I have some problem imagining Germany, with its deep sited coal reserves, as an 'oil producing country'.
