1940s OIL PRODUCTION & PETROLEUM PROCESSING VINTAGE FILM 47434

Distributed by Young America Films, the Canada’s National Film Board presents “Canadian Work and Wealth Series No. 8 Story of Oil” — a 1940s black-and-white film on the benefits of oil and natural gas and the migratory lifestyle of oilmen. Mark 01:00 shows us a view of the foothills of Alberta province, home of the largest supplies of oil in Canada, and Turner Valley in Calgary, where tiny towns are home to many of the workers who rely on the oil wells for income. The oilmen and cattlemen share the land, though the oilmen know that when the well runs dry it will be time to move on. At mark 03:10, we see men preparing a drill as the narrator discusses how fossils are responsible for creating that oil. Following scenes of a seismographic study to “see” the various levels of rock, geologists can determine whether a proposed site may hold oil. A new well is shown being dug starting at mark 06:15 and an oil derrick being erected that will hold the drilling gear. Drilling soon begins, and after changing the drill bit at mark 09:53, drilling begins again. At mark 12:09, the viewer learns that not many wells are “gushers” as shown in TV or the movies. Rather, valve readings tell workers they have struck black gold and the length of pipe used in the drilling process is removed and prepared to be relocated. A casing is then inserted in the well to hold the wall while acid is pumped in to break down limestone and permit easier flow. Underground wastes are carried a safe distance from the well and burned, where at mark 12:56 we see a giant fire ball and black smoke rise into the air. The oil workers return home after the shift, where one man is shown being greeted at mark 13:28 by his wife and their infant daughter. Oil removed from the ground, we learn next, is stored in tanks and eventually transported to cleaning plants. At scrubbing and absorption plants, like one shown at mark 15:13, gas is separated from oil and high-octane is removed. At a refinery (mark 15:25) oil’s various commercial elements are further separated including gasoline, kerosene, and tar. As the film closes, the everyday uses of oil are shown, from a boy greasing his bicycle wheels to a girl lubricating her sewing machine. “Oil and gas and all the byproducts of petroleum, are an important part of our modern way of living,” concludes the narrator at mark 17:00.
