The Tarim oilfield branch of PetroChina said Thursday that it has completed drilling the deepest oil well on land in Asia.
中国石油塔里木油田分公司周四表示，该公司已钻出亚洲陆上最深的油井。
The Luntan One well, with a current depth of 8,882 meters, smashed the previous record of 8,588 meters set by Sinopec in February 2019, according to the PetroChina Tarim Oilfield Company.
根据中石油塔里木油田公司的数据，目前深度为8,882米的伦坦一号油井破坏了中石化在2019年2月创下的8,588米纪录。
The company said the well demonstrates that its ultra-deep well drilling technology has reached world-leading levels.
该公司表示，该井已证明其超深井钻井技术已达到世界领先水平。
Cai Zhenzhong, head of the company's resource exploration department, said they started to drill the well last June and has overcome the difficulties posed by ultra-high-temperature and ultra-high-pressure conditions.
该公司资源勘探部门负责人蔡振中表示，他们去年6月开始钻井，克服了超高温和超高压条件带来的困难。
"We've basically drilled Mt. Qomolangma, just underground," said Qiu Bin, manager of the company's exploration division.
“我们基本上只钻了地下的珠穆朗玛峰，”该公司勘探部门经理邱斌表示。
Tarim Basin is the largest petroliferous basin in China and one of the most difficult to explore due to its harsh ground environment and complicated underground conditions.
塔里木盆地是中国最大的含油气盆地，由于地面环境恶劣，地下条件复杂，是最难勘探的盆地之一。
