Khaur Oil Field
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.
