The flaming water well is actually a 'mineral' water well near Astara, Azerbaijan. Locals actually drink that water for its curative power.

The oilfield is the Bibi Heybat oilfield, outside Baku. The first well was drilled there in 1844 and field development began in 1873. Some of the wells are still producing a couple m3/day.
