Seria’s Billionth Barrel Monument
Pale curving supports meet in a pointed arch beneath a golden emblem.
The story behind the place
The Billionth Barrel Monument stands near the coast at Seria. Built in 1991, it commemorates a milestone in Brunei’s oil production and points to the industry’s place in the country’s modern history. The central sculpture is formed by smooth pale supports rising together into a pointed arch, with a golden emblem above. A long approach leads towards it. Look for the open space beneath the arch: the shape is as much about the gap between the supports as the structure itself.
