Well No. 1

　　Karamay Well No. 1, abbreviated as "Well No. 1", is the first oil well drilled in the Karamay Oilfield, hence its name. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, from 1951 to 1955, the state sent geological survey teams multiple times to conduct geological investigations near Black Oil Hill. On June 6, 1955, the Dushanzi 1219 Youth Drilling Team arrived near Black Oil Hill and designated the location for Well No. 1. Drilling commenced on July 6 of the same year, reaching a depth of 626 meters. On October 29, the well was completed and began producing industrial-grade oil flow, yielding an initial daily output of 3.7 tons of crude oil. This marked the discovery of the Karamay Oilfield. Since then, the Karamay Oilfield has become the first major oilfield discovered and developed after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

　　Currently, Well No. 1 continues to produce oil. On October 29, 1982, a monument was erected here in commemoration, standing 4 meters tall.
