Miri mainly
relies on its oil and gas industry, which contributes significantly to the Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) of
Sarawak. Sarawak Shell Berhad and Petronas Carigali have their headquarters based in
Miri. The city is also home to numerous local and multinational oil and gas
companies, including Nippon
Oil, Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, Halliburton, Technip, Ranhill WorleyParsons and Petra Resources and many others. The oil and gas
industry not only infuses money into the economy, but also brings in
expatriates from various countries.

Miraculously, the oil well was spared from the bombings and other attacks of World War II.
