One of Sarawak's most important historical monuments. MIRI WELL No. 1 - The Grand Old Lady - struck oil on 22 December 1910. Grand Old Lady is not a frail figure of an old woman but Miri's Number 1 oil well, the first cable-tool oil well in the country, a 'mother' who milked a poor country to a prosperous nation.
This landmark is about 30 meters high, located on top of Canada Hill overlooking Miri, it attracts locals to enjoy the scenery or jog on the well-designed path.
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. Next to the Grand Old Lady, the Petroleum Museum (Open daily except on Monday, 9.00 am – 4.45 pm) exhibits photographs and information on the petroleum industry in Miri and Sarawak.
In a joint venture with Shell Malaysia and Petronas, has built a museum-cum-information centre. At the rear of the museum, the parking lot serves as a vantage point overlooking Miri town below.
The view from Bukit Telaga Minyak is rewarding because the panorama not only include the whole town comes but also the Miri-Brunei border, the offshore oilrigs and the refineries in nearby Lutong township.
The Grand Old Lady (Miri First Oil Rig)
The grand old lady is located on top of Canada Hill in Miri City, the second largest City in Sarawak, East Malaysia.
Canada Hill is also known as Bukit Telaga Minyak by the locals and it is popular for the first oil well drilled - The Grand Old Lady.
The Grand Old Lady is Miri's first drilled oil well which took place in the year of 1910 by the Royal Dutch Shell Company.
This famous landmark has a height of 30 meters and marked the beginning of modernization of Miri city.
Back in the years before the discovery of The Grand Old Lady, Miri is just an undeveloped fishing village.
From the Canada Hill, you have a chance to spectate the beautiful sunset down the sea horizon, and the city glows in beautiful night lights.

The Grand Old Lady of Miri
The first leg of the 2nd day (23rd October 2011) tour of Miri city was to Canada Hill, a limestone ridge overlooking Miri City. From the top of the Canada Hill we were able see a good view of Miri and its surrounding. Canada Hill has a significant history as the site of Malaysia first oil well, now called the Grand Old Lady. Her record stated that she started to operate in 1910 and had 62 years of life. During her life time she had produced more than 650,000 thousand barrels of oil. In 1973, Sarawak Shell Berhad handed Malaysia's first oil well to State Government to become a state monument.

The Grand Old Lady
Situated on top of Canada Hill, Well No.1, also known as the 'Old Lady' or 'Grand Old Lady' in the later years is the first oil well in the country. It represents the petroleum history of Miri which is almost a century old and is one of the places of interest in Miri. This oil well is no longer in production of crude oil and it has been declared a protected historical site by the Sarawak Government. There is an observatory platform where visitors can have an excellent view of Miri City. Next to this oil well is the newly completed Petroleum Science Museum.
Miraculously, the oil well was one of the very few structures that was spared from the bombings, fires and other attacks of World War II.
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.
Drives up & down of the few steepest road in Miri City - Grand Old Lady Oil Rig. ????????
Driving up to one of the few steep climb and down from the other side of the road. From the top one can view the sea and the city below. The place on the top can be visited as in my video. It serves as the public park, Jogging activities would be a great idea in the afternoon or enjoying the surrounding at the few available restaurant. Nice views.
