The Kola Superdeep Borehole was begun in 1970 and finished in 1992. It reached 12,262 meters deep. Work ceased due to the difficulties of drilling in extreme temperatures (~300 degrees Celsius) and lack of funding.

How deep has the Earth's crust been drilled into?
This can be answered in two ways.Man has gone "in person" as deep as the deepest mine, TauTona in Carletonville, South Africa at 3.9 kilometres.Boreholes have been made even deeper.The present holder of this record is the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia. It reached 12.262 kilometres in 1989.
How deep is the deepest hole ever?
The deepest man-made borehole in the world is the Kola Superdeep Borehole (Russia, 1989) at 12,262 meters (7.6 miles). The deepest natural ocean depth is about 6.8 miles (11000 meters), in the Marianas Trench near Guam.
What is the botanical name of kola?
centella asiatica
What is the function of a borehole?
To provide a source of water for a range of applications.This can include:Drinking WaterWater for commercial uses (bottling plants, breweries etc)AgricultureBasically anything where water is used in large quantities.The main reason for using a borehole rather than a normal water supplies are - location (not always easy to get water pumped in to rural places) and the potential cost savings. Borehole water is much cheaper than the water you get through your taps.
Has anyone ever been able to dig through the Earth's crust?
The Kola Superdeep Borehole project (in the USSR) attempted to drill as deep as possible into the Earth's crust. Drilling began on 24 May 1970 and the deepest hole, SG-3, reached 12,261 metres (40,230 ft) in 1989. Earlier, in 1961, an attempt was made to reach the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, the boundary between the earth's crust and mantle, by drilling through the oceanic crust. The US, through the National Science Foundation, sponsored Project Moho, which drilled 601 feet into the crust, beginning 11,700 feet below the ocean surface.
How deep was the Kola Superdeep Borehole?
It is more than 4 thousand feet approx 7.3 miles deep
Furtherest depth someone has dug down into the Earth's crust?
The Kola Superdeep Borehole in the former USSR reached a depth of 12262 meters (40230 feet) in 1989, at which point drilling had to be abandoned because of the extremely high temperatures.

What has been studied by geologists?
Geologists study geology, the relationship of rocks to the history of the Earth.Starting at the surface, they have studied as much of our planet's crust as can be accessed, which currently gives an upper limit of about 7.5 miles down (at the Kola Superdeep Borehole on the Kola Peninsula in Siberia, to the east of northern Finland).
What is Longest oil drill?
The Kola Borehole drilled in Russia to a depth of 40,230ft.
How deep is the worlds biggest hole?
By "biggest" do you mean largest in volume, or simply the deepest? The deepest hole yet dug is called the Kola Borehole and is a bit over 40,000 feet (12,262 meters) deep.
How deep is the deepest hole ever?
The deepest man-made borehole in the world is the Kola Superdeep Borehole (Russia, 1989) at 12,262 meters (7.6 miles). The deepest natural ocean depth is about 6.8 miles (11000 meters), in the Marianas Trench near Guam.
How deep is the deepest well ever drilled in Oklahoma?
The GHK Co. 1-27 Bertha Rogers hole or well was an oil-exploratory hole drilled in Washita County, Oklahoma in 1974, and was formerly the world's deepest hole until surpassed by the Kola Superdeep Borehole, dug by the former USSR.It took GHK two years to reach 31,441 feet (9,583 m), a depth of almost six miles. During drilling, the well encountered enormous pressure - almost 25,000 psi (172,369 kPa). No commercial hydrocarbons were found before drilling hit a molten sulfur deposit (which melted the drill bit), and the well was plugged and abandoned.[1]
What is borehole in Tagalog?
borehole in Tagalog: pagbutas
What is an antonym for borehole?
As a noun, 'borehole' doesn't have an antonym.
What layer of the ground is oil found in?
The crust. Often oceanic crust.Know that man has not yet managed to drill a hole past the crust. The deepest hole ever drilled is the Kola Superdeep Boerhole in Russia, which drilled about 1/3 of the way through the Earth's crust.
Did Siberia researchers really record the sounds of hell while measuring the core temperature?
No, this is a popular urban legend thanks to our friends at the Trinity Broadcast Network. You can find different websites all about it. Besides, if you can drill to hell than you can fly to heaven, right?There is a drilling project called the Kola Superdeep Borehole on the Kola Peninsula , Russia. Scientists drilled about 12,000 meters (40,000 feet) with a diameter of 8 inches. There was some surprises found down there, but of the geological kind not super natural. I think they recorded temperature of 300 degrees, about 150 more than anticipated and they also found "boiling" hydrogen , but, no hell. The Finnish man that started this even admitted that it is a fabrication.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_to_Hell_hoax
