It is a project by a chinese oil and gas company, the CNPC (China National Petroleum Corporation).[1] The site for the well is the Tarim Basin, specifically the Taklimakan Desert and it was made with hopes to explore the Earth and find natural resources, which the region is known for.[2] It is expected to get to the depth of 11 100 m (36 417 ft) with the estimated temperature and pressure there being 213°C (415.4°F) and 133 MPa.[3] On March 4th 2024 it reached a depth of 10 000 m (32 808 ft).[4]
