The Oil and Gas Discovery Centre (OGDC; Malay: Pusat Penemuan Minyak dan Gas) is a science centre in Seria, Belait District, Brunei. It was constructed near the Seria Oil Field and was rebranded Seria Energy Lab (SEL) in 2020. As BSP's flagship initiative, it aims to promote the nation's scientific literacy.[1]

History

The centre was officiated by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah on 14 September 2002.[2] The Shell Traffic Games and OGDC Traffic Games Park opened for business in 2007. The International Science Centre had its first traveling exhibition at the facility in 2012. The Asia Pacific Network of Science and Technology Centres (ASPAC) conference was arranged by the center in 2014. The institution hosted "Pesta Sains," its inaugural scientific festival, in 2018.[1]

From 2 July 2018 until 2 May 2020, it underwent major renovation and the rebranding of its name from Oil and Gas Discovery Centre to Seria Energy Lab.[3][4] To highlight its importance in the nation, the facility received a significant makeover in 2019.[1] The center's objective has been updated to align with Wawasan Brunei 2035, which is to generate highly competent and educated citizens.[1]

The Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) Company celebrated its 90th anniversary with the construction of the Seria Energy Recreational Park (SERP). BSP seized the chance to open the solar-powered park to the public so that the people of Seria and Belait might engage in light walking and physical activity throughout the evening. The Billionth Barrel Monument is located around 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the park.[5]

The centre consists of the main gallery, basketball court, beach soccer pit, big top, classroom, conference room, playground, science lab and theater.[6]
