The Evolution Of The Oil Industry (195?) Pt. 2 of 3 Color
Illustrations, animated, showing geological development leading to formation of oil. Colorful layers w/ oil between showing reservoirs.
05:11:30 Geologist walking in western US desert chipping rock; man looking thru microscope in lab. Surveyor working. Man looking at stereoscopic photos. Two men taking soil sample in corn field w/ auger, put sample into bag. Man in lab w/ testing equipment.
05:12:20 Small modern helicopter hovering; marsh buggy through deep swamp. Men w/ gravitometer; men w/ magnitometer to measure magnetic fields. Small derrick & placing charge for explosion to measure underground strata thru shock waves & recording their travel time. Diagrams illustrating. Men at sea lowering geophones & detonating explosives & reading the result.
05:14:08 Desert flat land & derricks scattered across. Drilling w/ small outfit. Rotary drilling method shown. Raising drill pipe & bit out of well. Casing put in, cement pumped in. CU of drill bit in action showing how it cuts. Mud being recovered after pumping thru well. Shaker cleaning “mud”. Core samples taken & tested.
05:17:13 Pulling pipe & casing set before detonating perforator to release the oil. Christmas tree installed. Man at Christmas tree valve. Large pump working the well. Storage tanks and operating pumps.
05:19:02 Diagram showing use of natural gas to put pressure underground to get oil to surface. Barge w/ oil rig at sea.
Oil Production; Petroleum Exploration. Geology; 1950s;
NOTE: Any continuous ten minutes of film sold at per reel rate.
