Bibiheybət (also, Bibiheybat, Bibiheibat, Bibi-Heybat, Bibi-Heibat; formerly known as Khanlar, Euwbet, and Shikhovo) is a municipality in Baku, Azerbaijan. It has a population of 1,451.
In 1846, the Russians drilled an exploratory oil well to a depth of 21 m. It was the first oil well in the world that was drilled instead of dug by hand. In the 1890s, a large oil field was discovered offshore, which led to land reclamation in 1924 to produce the field. Pavel Pototsky was one of the prime founders of the oil bay around Bibiheybat.
