A beautiful town curved out of swamps for the oil company. It was once known as Padang berewa pr wild pigeon field in the Belait district of Brunei Darussalam where oil was first discovered. Es Senia was named after a river near Brunei. The first commercial oil well was mined in 1929 which led to emergence of shops. The shops catered for workers on the oil fields and the town’s growth was expected. Currently, it is governed by an appointed district officer and it boasts a sparse division of 70,000 inhabitants. Most cheap flights to Es Senia have discount offers for travelers who book tickets as a group.
