Khaur Oil Field
[edit | edit source]The town is the first site of an oilfield in Punjab which operated from 1911 to the 1950s. The first commercial success came with the drilling of Khaur-1 by Pakistan Oilfields Limited in 1915, on a surface anticline in the Potwar Basin. Oil was discovered in sands in the lower part of the Miocene formation, and a total of 396 shallow wells were drilled in the field from 1915 to 1954.[3]
