The China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) reportedly began drilling the Shendi Chuanke 1 Well in the Sichuan province on Thursday, with a designed depth of 10,520 meters. According to the news outlet Xinhua News Agency, the project follows a similar-sized well that the CNPC started drilling in May in Xinjiang. At the time, it was considered the deepest well ever dug in China.
