Kuala Belait is the second largest city in Brunei. Kuala Belait lies along the Belait River near the South China Sea, west of Seria. Kuala Belait is a river port at the center of an oil field that includes offshore wells. It's very close to the border with Malaysia, and is the first city you'll reach if driving to Brunei from Miri.
