Want to visit "Asia's oldest oil refinery" and "Oldest operational Oil well" in the world? Then go to Digboy, about 80 kms away from dibrugarh town. A historical masterpiece for those who are interested. Don't miss the history carved on it's wall while walking to the musium.

Digboi Centernary museum is the home to Asia's first oil well. This museum is very beautifully maintained and decorated. Inside the museum photography is not allowed but believe me it's a worth it tour.

Please visit this place when you are in Digboi.

As part of the centenary celebrations of the first production oil well in India, the Assam Oil Company (part of Indian Oil) established a museum of the history of the Assam oil industry, behind the refinery at Digboi, which opened in early 2002. There is a fair amount of preserved machinery present, much of it stationary steam. Not illustrated are a number of small simplex and duplex pumps, mostly anonymous but including a couple of examples by Weir. Note that the museum is closed on Monday and nearby is the Digboi War Cemetry.
