Visit To Petroleum Museum

Miri became a city on 20 May 2005.  This year is the 10th anniversary of Miri City Day.  In conjunction with this event, we did a theme on Miri City.  The children made an excursion to the Petroleum Museum to learn the history of Miri development from a small fishing village to a city now and the discovery of oil in Miri.

The history of Miri development is depicted on the murals at the base of  'The Grand Old Lady - first spot where oil was drilled.

 

The children learned how oil is drilled, the various drilling methods, how oil is refined and the various products from oil.
