30TH MAY 2023 ~ The next destination in the itinerary list was Seria Energy Lab. This place was like our Petrosains in Kuala Lumpur. Unfortunately, the place was closed when we were there as it was undergoing renovation and upgrading and would only be opened to public in August or September.
We met three of its staff outside the building who were going somewhere and when asked, we were allowed to walk around the compound and take photos of the bright and colourful buildings. That should be the best thing that we could do.
As we were about to leave the place, one of the staff we had met earlier, approached and asked us to get into the main building that was shaped like the huge cylindrical oil tank. He was kind enough to open the place just for the two of us to walk in and see what was inside.
The main building was the gallery that displayed the history of the oil and gas industry in Brunei.
We were glad to be at Seria Energy Lab. Even though we did not get to explore the place thoroughly, I now have a reason to make a comeback to Brunei one day.
Most importantly we managed to befriend a Bruneian. His kindness did not just stop there. Mr. Zerul then voluntarily drove us from Seria to Kuala Belait in his car and became our tourist guide of the day.
