Society: PetroChina drills record-deep well

The Tarim oilfield branch of PetroChina has completed drilling the deepest oil well on land in Asia. The well, with a current depth of 8,882 meters, smashed the previous record of 8,588 meters set by Sinopec in February, according to the PetroChina Tarim Oilfield Co. The company said the well demonstrates that its ultra-deep well drilling technology has reached world-leading levels. Tarim Basin is the largest petroliferous basin in China and one of the most difficult to explore due to its harsh ground environment and complicated underground conditions.
