Petroleum Museum @ MIRI Sarawak
In 1800s, Miri was an unknown fishing village of a few families trading occasionally with passing ships. Miri as the first oil town in Malaysia, this discovery has put Miri on the road to progress.
The discovery of oil in 1910 on Canada Hill has a significant place in the history of modern Miri. Canada Hill is where the oil industry in the Sarawak started, with the successful drilling of well Miri-1 in December 1910. The growth of the oil industry has helped to transform Miri from a small fishing village at the turn of the 20th century into a modern and prosperous town in the 21st Century. The first derrick constructed was affectionately called 'The Grand Old Lady' and produced oil for 62 years.
Since 1910, this Grand Old Lady located 150 meters above sea level, had witnessed various historic and physical development which had taken place in this oil-rich town of Miri, which now is not only known for the black gold but also its attractive tourism industry.
It is believed that this well, now a monument, produced the first oil found in the country on Dec 22, 1910 and continued pumping out the precious commodity for the next 62 years producing 658,650 barrels of oil before it was closed on Oct 31, 1972. At the time it ceased operations, the Grand Old Lady was producing a mere seven barrels of oil a day.
Due to its sentimental value to the residents of Miri, the Sarawak state government on July 10, 1985, restored the Grand Old Lady and accorded her status as one of the state's important historical monuments.
The history of the Grand Old Lady dates back to the late 1800s when the then Baram Resident, Claude Champion de Crespigny found that there was oil in the Baram region.
Centuries before he noted this, the indigenous people living in and around Baram region had been using the oil as fuel, calling it minyak tanah.
In 1888, Charles Hose who took over as the subsequent Baram Resident continued Crespigny's work and before retiring, Hose did another intensive study about the presence of oil there.
Soon after retiring, Hose requested permission from the then Sarawak White Rajah, Sir James Brooke to present his studies to the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company, an oil exploration company based in London.
In 1909, Hose returned to Miri, this time bringing along geologist, Dr Josef Erb, and after several series of studies the expert was convinced that the Baram region including areas surrounding Miri was rich in oil.
Erb then decided to build an oil well on top of the hill and a Canadian, by the name of McAlpine, was assigned to erect the well. The hill was named Canada Hill, honoring his contribution.
On Aug 10, 1910, McAlpine successfully completed a 87-metre high wooden tower -- now known as the Grand Old Lady -- and soon after drilling work started using the cable tool method, the only available drilling technique known at that time.
After several months of drawing blanks, they struck oil from the grounds of the hill on Dec 22, 1910 at a depth of 150 meters.

Sarawak - Marudi
Marudi is a town on the Baram River in the north of Sarawak which borders the state of Sabah in Malaysia and the small country of Brunei.
Marudi is the cultural heart of Sarawak's highland tribesfolk, collectively called Orang Ulu. Marudi, a riverine town about 100 km upriver from Kuala Baram, is the largest town in the sparsely-populated Baram district.
It is also the district administrative headquarters and has been since the days of the White Rajahs. Marudi used to be a stepping stone to the well known tourist destination, the Mulu Cave.
Pioneer tourists would travel from Miri to Marudi first, and then from the river, tourist would have to use long boats cutting through few adventurous rapids upstream before reaching Mulu.
History - The earliest officially recorded oil find in Malaysia was made in July 1882 by the British Resident of the Baram district in Sarawak.
International Baram Regatta - Baram Regatta has its social and historical significance. It was first held in Claude Town (Marudi) from the 9 to 10 April 1899, marking the great peace making on the 3rd of the regatta. The great peace marked an end to subjugation by the madang; kayans (Upper Rejang) and Lirong (Ulu Tinjar) of the kayan and kenyah of Ulu Baram. The focus of the celebration was to forge peace among the people and loyalty to the government, pledged by every rival group leaders before Resident Claude.
Every 3 years the International Baram Regatta will be held at Marudi town. It will be attract people/contestants from all around the world (UK, USA, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Philippines and so on) to join the International Baram Regatta.

GOLD Grand Old Lady at Canada Hill, Miri Town (GOLD)
The area where the museum is located was the first oil exploration in Miri which used the Grand Oil Lady drilling rig. It produced oil starting from 22 December 1910 to 1972. One year after retirement on 1 October 1973, the Sarawak Shell Bhd handed over the property to Sarawak State Government in a simple ceremony. Four months after the handover ceremony, a bush fire occurred on the rig but was later extinguished quickly.
Now the area no longer produces oil and has been declared as a protected historical site by Sarawak State Government. The museum was officially opened to the public on 20 May 2005 after it was financed by Shell Malaysia and Petronas.
