The oil fields of Digboi, Moran, Sivasagar, and Naharkatiya are located in North-Eastern India, specifically within the Brahmaputra Valley of Upper Assam.
As India's oldest oil-producing region, this belt belongs to the Assam-Arakan Basin. Digboi is historically famous for hosting India's first operational oil well (1889).
