A map shows main pipe line systems through which crude oil is transported in the United States.
Advancement in transportation of petroleum in the United States. A political map of the United States shows main pipe line systems through which crude oil is pumped underground from producing fields to refineries. Animation on the map shows a pipe line which is under construction.
Total consumption and per capita consumption of petroleum of the United States is compared to that of the rest of the world.
The consumption of petroleum in the United States is compared to that of the rest of the world through an animation. The animation shows the population of the U.S. and the world outside of the United States in the year 1890. The animation also compares total consumption in barrels and per capita consumption in gallons of the U.S. and the rest of the world.
Water flows over the Niagara Falls and a globe with nine circular parallel lines along the equator rotates in the U.S.
The total consumption of petroleum of the U.S. and the world outside of the United States for the year 1918 is compared. Animation is used for this. Per capita consumption is also compared. Water flows over the Niagara Falls. A globe with nine circular parallel lines along the equator rotates. The 9 circular lines denote that if the per capita consumption of petroleum had increased as rapidly abroad as in the U.S. the world's petroleum requirement in 1922 would have been 10 times the actual requirement and if this volume had been loaded into tank cars of the capacity of 10,000 gallons each it would have made a solid train extending around the world at the equator 9 times.
Oil products are used as a fuel for lighting homes and on farms for running tractors in the United States.
Oil products are used for different purposes in the United States. Generators using petroleum as a fuel are used for lighting. A man works on machinery. A child near a sewing machine. Farmers plow a field using tractors. A woman wipes dishes in the light of a kerosene lamp. A miner puts a candle in a bottle and lights it in his cabin.
Rotary method of drilling is used to bore through earth crust to reach oil sand below in the United States.
'The Story of Petroleum' shows how an oil field is located and how an oil well is drilled in the United States. A member of a field party makes a contour map in a hilly terrain. A geologist carries a rod. A derrick is built on the established location of the well. Men put drilling equipment at the base of the derrick in the process called 'rigging up'. Equipment of the rotary method of drilling in operation. Animation shows the different strata of the earth crust. Men operate the drilling equipment. The animation shows how a bore is drilled through the layers of shale and sandstone to reach oil sand below.
A man puts nitroglycerin in an oil well and detonates it in the United States.
Method of pumping oil out of an oil well in the United States. A lump of sugar is dipped in a cup of tea to show how oil is contained in oil sands. A man pours nitroglycerin in an oil bore. Animation depicts how this is done. A shooter lights a squib which contains dynamite and drops it into the well to detonate the charge. Animation shows how the squib is dropped, the resultant explosion at the bottom and how the oil rushes up in the well. A derrick. Temporary field storage tanks in which the oil is stored after it has been pumped out of the well. Oil shoots out of a derrick because of underground pressure.
