Abstract:Brunei was originally a small, economically poor and backward country in Southeast Asia, and for a long time in the past, the local population mainly lived on fishing, hunting and farming, and the self-sufficient natural economy dominated. After Brunei became a British "protectorate" in the late 19th century, the self-sufficient natural economy began to disintegrate. In order to make Brunei its raw material supply, the United Kingdom stepped up the exploration and exploitation of Brunei's mineral resources, and the mining industry, which is mainly oil production, has become the most important part of Brunei's economy. After the discovery of oil in the town of Shiria in The Prachuap Rak Yi District in 1929, especially after the large-scale exploitation of oil and natural gas in the 1960s and 1970s, Brunei's economic structure underwent fundamental changes, and oil and gas extraction became a pillar industry of the economy. The production and sale of oil and natural gas has brought rich foreign exchange income to the Brunei government, coupled with the country's small population, Brunei's national economy has developed rapidly, and the people's living standards have been greatly improved, becoming an oil kingdom on the rich side.
