4 months agoIt’s a good place to visit around Seria. You can enjoy walking around the beach with a beautiful sunset. It’s a significant monument showcasing the history of the oil & gas in Brunei. It is a symbol of the achievement of oil & gas production in Brunei. Lovely artwork on the walkway. It has a good parking space for the public. The best time to visit is during the evening to enjoy the beautiful shades of suset sky and the cool breeze.6 months agoAn extremely underrated tourist attraction and one that deserves more attention. The monument is massive and truly a sight to behold.Also definitely a monument of it’s era, with the current shift toward green energy globally, makes you reflect on what it took, and the environmental impact, for humanity to get here and now.
The beach behind it has amazing sweeping views of the South China Sea. Absolutely breathtaking.
a week agoInteresting history in early production in Brunei and development of the O&G industry. In general the area us very poorly maintained, like most areas in Brunei.6 months agoCompletely deserted – a pity as it is a lovely place to spend some time at. Clean and well taken care of. I had the whole place to myself and enjoyed my time there.a year agoIconic Landmark in Seria, BruneiThe Billionth Barrel Monument in Seria, Brunei is an iconic and also important landmark in the area. It was build to commemorate the production on the one billionth barrel of crude oil.
The whole region (including the southern part of Sabah and the northern part of Sarawak) is about oil. It is the lifeline of the region, what moves the region and what helped to build the region. We think its worth mentioning that it also add significantly to the peoples wealth?.
The monument in itself is nothing special, apart from what it stands for.
There are plenty of parking lots next to the monument and it seems like the place is rather quiet. The walkway to the monument is ‘guarded’ by pillars with drawing depicting the history of the place. The drawings are very nice and each of them tells one chapter of the history.
The monument is by the sea side and one can spot from there some of the off-shore oil platforms.
As in most places in Brunei, the area is clean, neat and provides for a nice place to dive into local history and why not culture, as oil has shaped the culture of this country one way or the other.
