Energy conglomerate Sinopec has improved technologies to enable its drilling rigs to go extremely deep for oil and gas extraction, making China one of the few nations capable of drilling 10,000-meter-deep wells. China's largest petrochemical products supplier inaugurated the drilling of the deepest oil and gas well in Asia. The well being drilled, located at the edge of the Taklimakan Desert, is expected to register a depth of 9,472 meters, which is 620 meters plus more than the height of Mount Qomolangma. The landmark well is another example of China's advancement in ultra-deep well drilling technology. The drilling rig on the ultra-deep well is a real physical landmark as it weighs nearly 500 tonnes and is the height of a 20-story building. The gigantic machine can lift almost 600 tonnes, or 120 adult elephants.
