Drilling Deep / Knowledge from Underground

Notes on the Kola Superdeep Borehole

Until 2008, the Kola Superdeep Borehole near the Norwegian/Russian border was the deepest borehole in the world. Deep drilling is like inserting a telescope into the Earth. If you extract drill cores, you can see what is down there. And in that light no borehole is as legendary as the Kola Superdeep. It was drilled from the 1970s in the framework of the former Soviet Union’s programme Investigation of the Continental Crust by Means of Deep Drilling. The deepest of its boreholes, the SG-3, reached a final depth of 12,262 metres in 1989. Now it is a ruin.
