Quality of petroleum products is checked and scientific research for further improvement is carried out in the United States. A man carries out an experiment to check the quality of a petroleum product. He heats the product on a Bunsen burner using a pair of tongs. Then he lights a lamp using the petroleum product. Another researcher looks through a tube at a screen and makes some adjustments. He makes a note on a container and pours in the container. Scientific glass apparatus in a box on a stand.

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.

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 oil 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.
