Discovery of oil in commercial quantities onshore followed in August 1959 at Murban oil field (now known as Bab oil field), which lies in the desert some 100 kilometers to the southwest of the capital. Since that time numerous oil fields, large and small, have been discovered both onshore and offshore.
