Nope: the article says:

“The well, drilled in 1655 metres of water, reached a total depth of 3543 metres below sea level”



You have to subtract the sea depth, not add it.

So the well is 1,888 meters below the sea-bed, which is 6,194 feet (1.17 miles.)

DFRAI, below sea level means below the surface of the sea and includes the water depth in total depth.
We are looking at 1655 meters of water and 1888 below the sea floor. Total depth would be 3543 x 39"/12" = 11514.75 feet total from sea level. 5378.75 feet of water and 6136 feet under the sea floor.
