EDUCATIONAL FILM CATALOG 665.5 Petroleum, the liquid mineral. 60min 16- si-loan 35-si-nf-loan prior 1927 Bur. of mines 665.5 Made in cooperation with the Pure oil company . ••This film shows the production and re- fining: of oil and the distribution and use of refined petroleum products. Glimpses of the Canyon of the Colorado River are shown, scenes showing the use of the seis- mograph and the torsion balance, drilling of a modern oil well, views of the most no- table oil fields, pumping of a group of wells, transportation of crude oil through pipe lines, the recovery of gasohne from natural gas, and a panorama of the flow of vital petroleum to distribution centers.

It is divided into the following units: surveying in the mid-continent oil fields, erection of a derrick, rotary and cable-tool methods of drilling, preparing for the flow, the strike, laying of pipe lines, and the location of our principal oil fields."

Crude petroleum is traced from oil well to refinery and through process of straight distillation. Reel 2 pictures cracking proc- ess; refining of lubricating fractions; manufacture of chemicals used in refining process; chemical treatment of raw gaso- line; and types of gasoline storage tanks. Reel 3 shows separation of wax from paraf- fin-base crudes; preparation of wax for market; and refining of lubricating distil- late. Reel 4 depicts laboratory tests em- ployed to control intricate refining process; illustrates safety, first-aid, and fire-fighting methods and equipment; and shows build- ing of refinery apparatus and shipment of refinery products to consumer."
