You do the math, one meter is approx 39 inches.
The Bomu 1 exploration well was spudded on 29 August 2009 and completed on 3 October. The well, drilled in 1655 metres of water, reached a total depth of 3543 metres below sea level, achieving all of its geological objectives.
3543-(water of 1655)= 1888 meters of earth = approx 6036 FEET!!!!
We dig holes sometimes 3 times this deep when were looking for oil, 6000 ft is NOT a deep well. THis obviously was done purely to meet minimal cheap exploration requirements.
