China is drilling one of the world's deepest holes, here's why China drilling hole
China has embarked on a new massive project focusing on deep-Earth exploration. The world's largest economy began drilling a 10,000-meter hole — one of the deepest holes in the world.China began the drilling last week, with the borehole depth set to reach 11,100 meters in just 457 days. The dig is happening in the Taklimakan Desert - China's largest desert located in the resource-rich Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in northwestern China.
— People's Daily, China May 30, 2023 "The construction difficulty of the drilling project can be compared to a big truck driving on two thin steel cables," Xinhua cited Sun Jinsheng, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, as saying. According to China National Petroleum Corp., the country's largest oil producer leading the project, the drilling will provide new data on the Earth's internal structure and test China's latest deep underground drilling technologies.
