I’ve worked in the oilpatch in Western Alberta for 25 years and have a bit of an infatuation with Deep Wells and the challenges associated with them. I’ve been aware of both the Kola & Bertha Rogers wells for 20 odd years now and despite much research, this vid has the best & most images of the Kola drilling operation. I had never heard of the Swedish well so thanks for the tip. The temperatures we were encountering around here at 3000-3800 meters were in the 100-130 degrees Celsius range.

[@GoViking933]

The deepest well I recall working on here was ~ 4300 meters. We have much deeper than that - ~ 6500 meters true vertical depth range, but I never got the honour (headache) of working on those.

[@GoViking933]

We have wells around here with ~ 10,000 meters total depth as they say, but those are modern wells with say 3-4 kms true vertical depth and the rest what we call Build, which is the horizontal leg through the pay zone.

[@GoViking933]

While very impressive (how do they slide 7 kms of pipe?!?), those aren’t True Vertical Wells, and why they aren’t as impressive as TVD Deep Wells is that the deeper you drill, the slower and harder it gets, higher pressures, higher temperatures and harder rock all contributing to this.

@god I understand what you are saying regarding the metric system and yes kilo = 1000. But see how even you got confused when you said “Wtf? He is correct. 12.57 km means 12,570 meters. You owe him an apology.” Yes you are correct 12.57km IS 12,570m, but the video implies 12.574km is 12574 km (in Europe) not meters. Anyway the guy throughout the entire video narrates it using the decimal point as apparently you and I would see it, yet at the beginning he tells us that the earth has a diameter of “twelve point seven five four” kilometers (in European)… hence the confusion , he should have just said the entire number as 12750 km What I am trying to say is I think you gave that guy, or girl Viki, shit for nothing : )

I think that from a certain point on, temperature becomes a problem. And also the so-called lithoplastic deformation events set in. Further down you need temperatureproof drilling heads, eventually need of coolant. Water starts evaporating at 100°C, so thereafter something else would be required. But finally and even all this will reach a point from where everything won't remain solid, also the well diameter, equal what expensive superhard drillhead material you have in operation and undergoes permanent deformation, thermal thread, from where a "mechanical drilling" no longer can be done properly or even work because you are literally kneading your drillhead forward into lithoplastic mineralic masses, merely sooner or later transitioning into a consistence of lava.

[@toddpartain6606]

When I was a kid we were digging a "foxhole" in my backyard playing Army and hit this weird black seam of what appeared to be coal in red clay. I dug up this weird bronze or brass colored bell with a nude lady on it wearing a weird cone shaped hat with flaps or horns hanging down on the sides and a cape or bat wings. It was half encrusted in the coal and I chipped it off. It had weird symbols on it that looked like what I now realize must have been futhark runes or some kind of pre-sanskrit. It was handmade and had no cast lines or maker's marks on it but you could faintly see where it had been hammered. It had no connection point inside for a tongue or anything. However, if struck with a stone it would put out this unusual tone that would last about 20 seconds that you could feel in the center of your brain like a tickle. I thought this odd because the tone seemed to last much longer than it should have but it was so satisfying and..enticing. Over the course of just a few minutes I sorta became addicted to that tone and wanted more. I kept dinging it and before I knew it the sky was getting dark and I looked over at the kids that were with me and they were frozen like in a trance. Time had gotten away from us. I wanted to take it to school for show and tell but my mom confiscated it due to the naked voluptuous woman and told me she would put it away for when I was an adult. A couple of nights after that I had a bizarre dream where a scantily clad and gorgeous woman with bat wings came to my window sort of humming or singing a sort of lullaby and I went to the window and let her in. She whispered something in my ear in a language I couldn't understand but somehow I knew she wanted me to lie back down in bed. I couldnt renember what happened after that. The next morning my Mom woke me up and asked me why there where flower petals on my pillow. I had no clue. There was dried blood on my lips but I had no wounds anywhere. When I was 18 I asked for the bell back and she said she couldn't find it. Later my Grandmother told me that my Mom admitted to selling it at a garage sale along with a set of corelle dishes I won in a drawing when I was 9. I remember grammy saying it was for the best as the bell belonged to "the devil's bride". Somewhere out there is an extremely important artifact found in Bossier City, LA in 1979 and some mook in the Shreveport Bossier area has it on their curio shelf. Way to go Mom.

When you say that we tried to get to the mantle in the early 60's but it unfortunately had no results, what do you mean by "no results"? Did they fail to go deep enough? Did it end up being more than 5 miles deep so they couldn't reach it?

[@OpTicBossaru]

Difficulty increases exponentially with depth. For example, you either need to dig a hole big enough for the whole machine to lower itself Into, and repeat the process again and again to make progress... Which is not feasible, especially in the ocean. OR. Like a commercial oil rig, the machine stays on the surface, and the drill is more or less a series of links that can be added to from the top. Drill 10 feet, stop, raise the motor, add a 10ft section of drill, continue drilling, repeat for about 5 miles. So, one bad locking lug in that chain, and the whole thing fails. Not to mention, the parts at the bottom (actual drill head) will need to be replaced or serviced at some point. So now you have to raise the chain of drill links and take every single one out, store them somewhere, replace the drill head, then lower them all back down in a controlled manner (can't just drop them), again one at a time. The weight of every single piece has to be suspended at once by the machine if there's no earth to support it. Being in the ocean kinda helps this one. A, things fall slower in water and B, the weight of water they displace will offset the weight of the steel a bit. Still fucking heavy. Repeating this for FIVE MILES is ridiculous. If something breaks and gets stuck, the hole is shot. You can't drill through the old drill. And because it's not actually a straight line, you can't really move the machine 10 ft and try again or you may still hit the old bore hole and damage the new drill. So your moving it a reasonable distance. Again, easier on the ocean. But still sucks. So yeah I don't doubt they just had a parts failure fairly deep into the drilling and called it quits instead of trying again. Or had several failed attempts.

@@OpTicBossaru I don't know why you wrote such a long comment. This had absolutely nothing to do with what my question was. When I ask "what do you mean by "no results" you don't have to go into an essay on how drilling works. That's absurd.

[@a.karley4672]

@@OpTicBossaru "You can't drill through the old drill." Actually, you can. The problem is that generally the rock walls are softer than your "milling head", or the broken drill bit (or other tool), so you tend to push the loose part into a pocket you gouge in the side of the borehole, where it lodges until you've drilled (strictly, "milled") far enough ahead in rock that there is space for the broken part to fall into the well behind your milling tools. Then you've got a different jamming mechanism. Typically, it is safer to pump cement into the bottom of the hole with the debris, let it set solid (holding all the debris in place), then drill back onto that cement plug and let it kick you off in a new direction. After that, you steer the well back onto the original course. There are far fewer unknowns, and while you're committed to (say) 3 days of cementing and re-drilling operations (when a milling operation may only take a day and a half), your maximum time might only be 6 days (doing the job twice) instead of 15 days (for multiple failed milling operations). Which is professional drilling risk management. Not flailing around desperately, because you've never faced this problem before. Happens every one in 30 to 50 wells. With a 150+ well CV, I've seen about a half dozen such operations.

It’s actually because of earthquakes. When triangulating them we have a known time and distance between 3+ points.

Comparing the differences in both waves on different sides of the planet lets us determine the depth of the crust and that our planet has at least partially liquid internals.

[@WaveForceful]
