Published by N. Sönnichsen, Aug 4, 2020
Though often cited as the deepest oil well in the world, O-14 in the Chayvo field off the coast of Sakhalin, Russia is actually only some 3,300 feet deep when measured by its vertical drilling depth. However, it has an impressive length of 49,000 feet achieved mainly through directional or horizontal drilling.
