Bibiheybət (also,Bibiheybat,Bibiheibat,Bibi-Heybat, Bibi-Heibat; formerly known asKhanlar,Euwbet,Helenendorf, andShikhovo) is a municipality inBaku,Azerbaijan.[2] It has a population of 1,451.
In 1846, the Russians drilled an exploratoryoil well to a depth of 21 m. It was the first oil well in the world that was drilled instead of dug by hand.[3] In the 1890s, a large oil field was discovered offshore, which led to land reclamation in 1924 to produce the field.Pavel Pototsky was one of the prime founders of the oil bay around Bibiheybat.[4][5][6]
In 2007, as part of the expansion of the Bibiheybat Motorway and the reconstruction of theBibiheybat Mosque, dozens of families were relocated to new, modern homes. Alongside these developments, a stadium, a kindergarten, and other facilities were also rebuilt. A recreational park was created around the newly renovated stadium to offer the local community a space for cultural and leisure activities.

[By 1806] the Absheron region had many shallow wells from which lighter oil was collected in order to produce kerosene (by thermal distillation) used for local lighting as well as for export by camels (in skins) and in wooden barrels on small ships. In 1837 Russians built the first commercial oil-distilling factory in Balakhani, and nine years later they sank the world's first (21 m deep) exploratory oil well in Bibi-Heybat [sic] and thus opened up what was later classified as the world's first giant oilfield (that is, one having at least 500 million barrels of recoverable crude oil). Baku was thus the place where the modern oil era began in 1846.
