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.

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.
