There seems to be several edits of The Story of Petroleum (1923) about, but the longest version I found online was 45 minutes. Three quarters of an hour on educating us about the wonders of the early days of the petrolium industry. More a silent documentary associated with old school schooling then one for the mass public. Goes into a lot of detail and shows how it's done. Educational.
