At 21:00 on January 5th, China's first scientific exploration well over 10,000 meters in depth, the Deep Earth Tarko-1 Well, successfully completed drilling at an underground depth of 10,910 meters, fulfilling two major missions of scientific exploration and hydrocarbon discovery, and setting a record as the deepest vertically drilled well in Asia and the second deepest globally.

Behind this project is a team of young petroleum professionals with an average age of 35. In the hands of these young people, the huge and complex automated equipment has maintained an operational readiness rate of over 99.5%.

Currently, the Deep Earth Tarko-1 Well is undergoing casing back-reaming operations in preparation for the next phase of oil and gas testing.
