On February 9, in the vast silence of the Taklamakan Desert, a deafening roar marked the successful drilling of China's first 10,000-meter-deep scientific exploration well, Deep Tac 1 Well, to a depth of 9,850 meters, setting a new record for the deepest well in Asia. This milestone breakthrough not only symbolizes China's new height in the field of deep earth scientific research, but also reflects the spirit of human beings who fearlessly explore unknown fields and have the courage to challenge the limits.
Hide treasures and decipher the code of the center of the earth.
The deep part of the earth contains rich treasures of oil and gas resources, which are the strategic cornerstone of ensuring national energy security. According to statistics, about 70% of the world's oil and gas resources are hidden in the deep part of the earth, and in China, 83% of the deep oil and gas resources are still undeveloped. Located in the Tarim Basin, which is rich in oil and gas resources, the deep Taco 1 well is aimed at this treasure trove of untapped potential. As the largest terrestrial sedimentary basin and deep oil and gas accumulation area in China, the Tarim Basin is known as the "oil and gas bonanza of the East".
Overcoming obstacles, technology illuminates the way forward.
Reaching deep into the Earth's interior is no easy feat, with extreme temperatures and pressures, complex geological structures, and technical challenges. The deep Taco 1 well is designed to be 11,100 meters deep, equivalent to the height of Mount Everest 11 times, with a downhole temperature of up to 220 degrees Celsius and a pressure intensity of 1,000 megapascals, which is to withstand extreme conditions of more than 100,000 atmospheres. In order to overcome this gap in deep earth exploration, PetroChina has gathered the wisdom and strength of the whole country and independently developed a series of world-leading "national heavy equipment", such as the world's first 12,000-meter ultra-deep well automatic drilling rig and special drill bits suitable for complex formations, which have significantly improved the safety performance and work efficiency of drilling.
The significance is far-reaching, and the blueprint for the future is promising.
The successful drilling of Well 1 is a key step in building a national strategic scientific and technological force and building a world energy and chemical innovation highland. Its results will effectively promote China's deep-earth scientific research and oil and gas exploration and development to a new level, and inject strong impetus into ensuring national energy security and promoting sustainable economic and social development.
Looking forward to the future of deep earth exploration.
Well Taco 1 is only the prelude to the journey of deep earth exploration in China. In the future, we will unswervingly climb the peak of scientific research, continue to break through the technical bottleneck of deep drilling, advance to deeper and farther goals, unveil more mysteries in the depths of the earth, and contribute to the progress of human civilization.
