This 1940s film produced by the Shell Oil Company covers the scientific process behind the distillation of crude oil. The footage uses animations to show the atomic structure of crude oil and the basics of the distillation process. This includes a demonstration of the separation of three elements into their respective categories after they have all been mixed together. It then continues with an animation of how the distillation process functions in a modern refinery. There is also footage of modern refineries.

These Classic Documentaries bring back so many Memories

[@dearbrad1996]

That was great. Who would have thought refining oil would be so interesting 😮

[@okamijubei]

It was but it turns out they're overuse and practically obsolete. For power storage and solar becoming a thing, nuclear becoming safer and likely becoming cleaner when fusion arrive and wind need some safety grits but currently harness more than nuclear.

[@okamijubei]

Well, gas did play a huge role during World War II. Ones that have the most oil and most efficient machine are the ones that wins the war.

Thanks for sharing this 🎉

[@DrMatey215]

So cool! Thanks for the great upload! Awesome!

[@PeriscopeFilm]

Thanks Mateo, please subscribe!

[@JoelMMcKinney]

I need more knowledge and informations please and thank you.
Video format will be just fine.

[@winniewotsit4452]

I wonder - what will roads be constructed of in our net zero future?

[@okamijubei]

Probably will have channels of wireless chargers for the EV vehicles for they'll act as cables and as guidance.

They lie about the amount of oil that is available in the ground to increase the price...there are vast amounts of oil as big as small oceans.

Better living through chemistry.

[@brothersoulshine]

Interesting how they used Celsius as their temperature unit.

[@lwilton]

Chemists (and scientists in general) have used Celsius for at least 100 years. That doesn't stop those same people from telling you that the room temperature is 72 F, if you live in the US (or lived in England at the time this was made.)

Hydrocarbon... Carbohydrate... Energy storage

12:45 It’s not a shell, it’s a sunrise.

[@okamijubei]

The anime production studio?

[@montyyy08]

@@okamijubei no, the petroleum company. It’s called Shell, but the logo is a sunrise. Same for BP. It’s not a sunflower. It’s again the sun. Solar symbolism.

There's certainly nothing "crude" about this film.
