Foundation and subsequent town development became possible with the discovery of oil in the Middle Ob Region. It was the Megion oil workers who drilled the first well in the Samotlor field, the largest oil field in the country, and initiated its industrial development. This laid the groundwork for the construction of Megion and Nizhnevartovsk, which together constitute one of the most significant centers of the Russian oil industry today.
