Cabimas is a city on the shore of Maracaibo Lake in Zulia State in northwestern Venezuela. Its current population is around 200,859 (2005). Before 1900, Venezuela was known to possess commercial quantities of petroleum. One major find was the 'Zumaque 1' well in 1914,〔:es:Municipio Baralt (Zulia, Venezuela) (Spanish)〕 in the area of Mene Grande, about 50 miles (80 km) southeast of Cabimas. It was the blowout of the Barroso No. 2 well in Cabimas in 1922〔(The Royal Dutch Shell Group of Companies in Venezuela, 1913-1922 )〕 that marked the beginning of Venezuela's modern history as a major producer. Cabimas still plays an important role in production from the nation's largest oil fields, which are located around and beneath Lake Maracaibo. Other fields are increasing in importance, mainly in eastern Venezuela. Most refining in Venezuela takes place in refineries outside the Cabimas area. ==The City of Cabimas== The city has an area of 604 km², a population of 256,993 inhabitants and a population density of 425.5 hab/km².
