The Xinhua News Agency reported that China National Petroleum Corp. began drilling the Shendi Chuanke 1 Well on Thursday, which is designed to reach a depth of 10,520 meters (6.5 miles).
This project is followed by another same-size well that was drilled earlier this May. Accordingly, it’s a hole with a designed depth of about 10,000 meters in the ground, and it seeks ultra-deep reserves of natural gas.
Earlier, it was described that the well was experimental in nature and designed to test the drilling technologies and give some data about the internal structure of the earth.
