Petroleum Field Trip
These videos are currently only available online
Quick quiz – True or false, “Oil” that comes out of the ground is suitable for use as ‘oil’ in your vehicle. It is assumed that just because we are in Alberta, where petroleum has such an important influence on our environment and economy, that we automatically know where it comes from, how it is developed, refined and used in our daily lives. These videos are a series of mini-field trips “behind the scenes” as we explore the processes of petroleum.
