Kiosk Videos

We also utilize a series of videos in place of a game or two to focus the audience in on the point of the presentation. Videos selected for each event can cover:

  • How is oil formed?
  • How do we find oil?
  • How do we recover oil?
  • How do we transport oil?
  • How do we utilize oil for energy and products?
  • What role does oil and natural gas play in the world?
  • A selection of our current social videos for public events, festivals or general audiences.

Interactive kiosks can be coupled with Petro Pro Program for maximum impact.
