科学家希望研究地球的内部结构和演化，以进行地质和地球物理研究。
位于中国西北部的可能是世界上最深的井已经开始钻探。它位于塔里木盆地（新疆地区）的沙漠地区。 “正弦”的轴将穿过十个大陆层，到达地壳的白垩系。据《卫报》报道，这是一系列层状岩石，年龄约为 1.45 亿年。
该铺设设备重达2000多吨，设计可在高达200摄氏度的温度和超高大气压下运行。它比地表高1300倍。
中国工程院 (CAE) 科学家孙金生将打井的复杂性与“一辆巨大的卡车沿着两条细钢缆移动”进行了比较。
“这是探索地球未知领域、拓展人类认识边界的一次大胆尝试。”技术专家王春生说。
塔里木沙漠是中国最热、最干燥的沙漠，其恶劣的条件使这项任务变得更加复杂。尽管如此，钻探仍计划在 457 天内完成。因此，中国科学家想要研究地球的内部结构和演化。他们打算收集用于地质和地球物理研究的数据。管理该项目的中国石油天然气集团公司（CNPC）表示。
与此同时，中国正在寻找新的矿产资源。据该刊物称，今年5月，中国最大的石油公司中石化在塔里木盆地深度超过8500米的地方发现了新的油气田。

Scientists want to study the internal structure and evolution of the Earth for geological and geophysical research.
Drilling has begun on what could be the world’s deepest well in northwestern China. It is located in the desert region of the Tarim Basin (Xinjiang region). The shaft of the “mine” will pass through ten continental layers and reach the Cretaceous system of the earth’s crust. This is a series of layered rocks with an age of about 145 million years, writes The Guardian.
The laying equipment weighs over 2,000 tons and is designed to operate at temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius and at ultra-high atmospheric pressure. It is 1.3 thousand times higher than on the surface.
Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) scientist Sun JINSHENG compared the complexity of drilling a well with “the movement of a huge truck along two thin steel cables.”
“This is a bold attempt to explore the uncharted territory of the Earth and expand the boundaries of human understanding,” said technical expert Wang CHUNSHENG.
Complicating the task is the harsh conditions in the Tarim, China’s hottest and driest desert. Despite this, drilling is planned to be completed in 457 days. Thus, Chinese scientists want to study the internal structure and evolution of the Earth. They intend to collect data for geological and geophysical research. This was stated by the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), which manages the project.
At the same time, China is looking for new sources of minerals. Thus, in May, China’s largest oil company Sinopec discovered new oil and gas fields in the Tarim Basin at a depth of more than 8,500 meters, the publication says.
