The best I could find is oil was first discovered in Egypt in 1869 but not put on production until 1910. See related link.
I don't know why it took them so long to put it on production. They may have been drilling for water and encountered oil instead- but I don't know this is true. It is possible that there was no real market for oil at the time.
