Full Day Seria Oil Town Tour MBF02

This tour takes guests to the oil town of Brunei where they can witness the life and activities in the oil and gas producing town of Seria.

In 1929, the British Malayan Petroleum Company first discovered oil on the shore of this significant town. In 1991, BSP built a Billionth Barrel Monument near the original site of Well No 1 to commemorate the achievement of the billionth barrel of oil produced from the Seria oil field.

To show the commitment of Brunei Shell towards education and sustainable development, the Oil and Gas Discovery Centre was built to showcase science and engineering work. Till today, activities in Seria and Kuala Belait towns are very much related to the oil and gas industry.

The tour starts with a pick-up from the hotel and continues with a one-hour scenic drive to the Seria Oil Town. The tour passes the countryside of Brunei and the small town of Tutong in Tutong District.

After passing Lumut, the tour reaches Seria Oil Town, where guests get to see a significant number of 'nodding donkeys'. The first stop will be at the Oil & Gas Discovery Centre for a tour around the exhibition hall.  Thereafter, a stop will be made at the Billionth Barrel Monument. The tour then continues with a drive to Kuala Belait, where guests will have lunch and enjoy a walk around Kuala Belait town to observe the local lifestyle and business activities related to the oil industry.

Overland transfer is organised back to Bandar Seri Begawan and a photo stop will be made at Jerudong Park before retuning to the hotel.
