Seria

Seria is a petroleum industry town in Brunei's Belait District situated along the South China Sea coast. The landscape is dominated by oil refining operations, interspersed with residential areas, shops, and a central market zone.

The town emerged around 1929 when oil was first discovered here, shifting Brunei's economic focus to this region. It rapidly became the country's primary center for petroleum extraction and refining.

The Seria bazaar presents multiple dining establishments serving Malay, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, and Italian food, reflecting the multicultural population.

The town is accessible via a well-developed road network, with bus services connecting to other parts of Brunei. Visitors can navigate the center on foot or use public transport for longer distances.

The Billionth Barrel Monument stands as a testament to Seria's petroleum production achievements, marking a milestone in the nation's oil industry.
