Baba Gurgur is an oil field and gas flame near the city of Kirkuk, which was the first to be discovered in northern Iraq in 1927. It was considered the largest oil field in the world until the discovery of the Ghawar field in Saudi Arabia in 1948. Baba Gurgur is 16 kilometres north-west of Arrapha and is famous for its Eternal Fire at the middle of its oil fields.
