China Continuously Constructs Ten Thousand meter Ultra Deep Drilling

China has started two ten thousand meter ultra deep drilling projects in recent months, which has attracted high attention from the outside world.

China has started two ten thousand meter ultra deep drilling projects in recent months, which has attracted high attention from the outside world. The US CNN (CNN) said on the 21st that the two super projects with the maximum drilling depth of more than 10000 meters will become one of the deepest man-made drilling wells in the world. They can not only detect deep underground resources, but also help scientists understand the internal structure of the earth.
It is reported that the industry usually positions drilling wells with depths ranging from 4500 to 6000 meters as "deep wells", drilling wells with depths ranging from 6000 to 9000 meters as "ultra deep wells", and drilling wells with depths exceeding 9000 meters as "ultra deep wells". CNN said that China has recently started a new ultra deep drilling, which will eventually go 10520 meters underground in the Sichuan Basin in southwest China. The report states that the region is the main region for natural gas production and is expected to find abundant natural gas reserves there. Shortly before the launch of the project, China had begun to drill another ultra deep well in the Tarim Basin, Xinjiang, with a planned drilling depth of 11100m. The report states that "if completed, they will become one of the deepest artificial drilling wells in the world". The current world record in this field is maintained by the abandoned Kola drilling project in Russia, which was a scientific drilling project completed by the Soviet Union over 20 years, reaching a depth of 12262 meters, and is currently the only artificial drilling project with a depth exceeding 10000 meters.
According to Xinhua News Agency, on May 30th, China's first 10000 meter scientific exploration well, Shendi Taco 1, was drilled in the Tarim Oilfield in Xinjiang; On July 20, the first ten thousand meter deep well in Sichuan Basin, Shendi Chuanke 1 Well, was officially started.
CNN claims that by drilling deep underground, scientists can gain a better understanding of how the Earth was formed, and underground rocks contain a geological timeline for the formation of the world. At the same time, these drilling wells also have attractive commercial prospects, which can discover hidden and profitable energy reserves deep underground. On the 21st, India's ndtv website stated that with the help of exploration work deep underground, scientists can not only identify hidden mineral and energy resources underground, but also help assess the risk of environmental disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
On the 21st, the website of the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong stated that the drilling activities of the Shendi Chuanke 1 well are one of China's deep exploration projects. These projects are part of China's broader infrastructure construction, with the aim of providing important foundation and support for China's future scientific research and oil and gas resource development. The report quotes Ding Wei, Deputy Manager of the Exploration Division of PetroChina Southwest Oil and Gas Field Company, as saying, "The implementation of the 10000 meter deep exploration project is a 'national treasure' comparable to the lunar exploration project
According to the website of New Scientist, these 10000 meter deep "super projects" will become one of the deepest wells ever drilled, allowing researchers to explore new geological information and ultra deep Oil reserves. For example, the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang contains some of the largest and deepest oil fields in China. In 2022, Sinopec has drilled 49 wells in the oil and gas field with a vertical depth exceeding 8000 meters. It also allows researchers to have a deep understanding of the unique geological structure of the Tarim Basin. Edward Sobel of the University of Potsdam, Germany, said that this drilling project includes the collection of core samples and geophysical surveys, and also allows researchers to understand the unique geological conditions of the Tarim Basin. Sobel said that the Tarim Basin itself has a history of more than 1 billion years, and stable bedrock is covered by hundreds of millions of years of sediment. He stressed that "you will find a very continuous sediment layer starting from the Cambrian period", which is equivalent to the stratum visible in the Grand Canyon of the United States.
