Brunei is known across the globe for being a rich resource base for oil. In fact the extraction of oil has contributed to the economy of Brunei in a big way and is responsible for its economic prosperity. The authorities at the Brunei Shell Petroleum considered it necessary to enlighten the locals and the tourists of this entire procedure and initiated the Brunei Seria Oil Field Tour. The Seria Oil Field Tour in Brunei has gained immense popularity amongst people in quick time. There are seven galleries at the Oil and Gas Discovery Center or the OGDC which traces the entire process right from the contribution of science in our daily existence to the development of hydrocarbons and the scientific processes and functioning of the industry. One can catch a glimpse of the 'nodding donkey' or active oil wells during their tours. Another interesting site that one comes across while on a trip to the Sierra Oil Field is the Billionth Barrel Monument. The monument, a creation of a local architect, was erected to mark the billionth barrel of oil extracted from the Sierra Oil Field. The monument is located close to the sea well. The entrance to the site is marked by an arched gateway lined with trees on either side.
