The Grand Old Lady

The Grand Old Lady is not a literal old lady, is located on Canada Hill in Miri. It is Miri's first drilled oil well which took place in the year of 1910 by Shell Company. The Grand Old Lady is one of Miri's many main places of interest and also act as an important monument in the eyes of the local's and definitely, the world's. This famous landmark has a height of 30 meters and marked the beginning of modernization of Miri city as back in the years before the discovery of The Grand Old Lady, Miri is just an undeveloped fishing village. There is a museum named the Petroleum Museum situated just next to The Grand Old Lady. Recently they installed a new Hollywood style sign board next to the museum that can be seen directly from the city below. This board resembles the one that is in Hollywood.

Miri Oil Well No.1

#travellerswonderland An excellent haven for joggers, bush trekking, sightseeing, loitering outside the oil museum. Ample parking space, interesting well no 1 monument. Enjoy the aerial view of Miri town from this hill & its green atmosphere. It is best to be visited during sunrise or sunset. Steep up and down. 8 bends up and down. Many exits out of the hill. Won't get lost.

Grand Old Lady - Miri Oil Well No.1, MYY

The Grand Old Lady, site of Malaysia's first oil well Miri Number 1 is located on top of Canada Hill overlooking Miri town. Although of undoubted interest to those with a general interest to Sarawak's economic history this will hold a particular fascination with those who like me who were associated with Sarawak, and Malaysia's, Oil & Gas Exploration business. There is a replica rig on the actual original rig location, also many plaques detailing relevant information. The Oil Well was spudded in 1910 and only abandoned in 1972, total field production before depletion was 80 million barrels. Well worth a visit for both the views and the replica of the original Oil Well. There is also a restaurant next to the Oil Rig, only open for dinner but has wonderful sunset views of Miri town and the South China Sea. #tripblazers #awesomepic #oilwell
