It has been reported that drilling works in the Yuejin9-472XC oil and natural gas well, which is located in the Tarim Basin in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and has a depth of 3 thousand 3 meters, started today.
Sinopec's exploration specialist, Qi Lixin, stated that the Yuejin3-3XC well is expected to be drilled to a depth of 9 meters, making it the deepest oil and natural gas well in Asia.
Pointing out that this development shows that China has risen to the most advanced level in the world in the field of deep drilling technology, Qi noted that this will provide the necessary preparation in terms of technical and equipment for the drilling of ultra-deep oil and natural gas wells with a depth of more than 10 thousand meters.
In Qi, wells with a depth of 4-500 thousand meters are described as deep wells, wells with a depth of 6 thousand-6 thousand meters as super-deep wells, and wells with a depth of more than 9 thousand meters as ultra-deep wells, and the drilling of ultra-deep wells is a technical obstacle. informed that it was the area.
