    My dad was an explosives expert with C.I.L. for years and was a consultant on how to place precision charges when building underground. He never liked going super deep underground. He didn't like the heat once you got really deep if they didn't ventilate the space well and he didn't like knowing that if anything went seriously wrong when you're a couple of miles underground you were probably really screwed and doomed to a horrible death. The escape procedures for deep mines and installations basically consist of providing shelter in place until someone comes down to get you, which isn't always possible.
    Fortunately, catastrophic accidents are rare in deep facilities. Usually, it's individual workers who will get injured or killed rather than the whole place coming down. But it does happen. I found it interesting how people could have different fears. I mean my dad confidently worked with explosives every day that would have terrified most people but feared the underground. The difference was that his skill and other things under his control determined the results with the explosives but the deep dives into the Earth relied on others.

    I've been down to a depth of a little over 2000 meters at the Mount Isa R62 mine (listed at 1900 meters but it's gone much further since that depth was official). Started working there are a timberman at the very bottom, installing/repairing poly pipe for water/compressed air, and vent bag for breathing air. Basically the stuff that people need to work, we went in without it and installed it. It's around 40-45 degrees Celsius and so incredibly humid.

    The problem we run into when drilling super deep is the torque required to turn the drill string, the temperatures downhole and the pressures required to pump mud down the pipe and back up the annulus (to remove the rock being drilled). All of these mechanics have limits that modern equipment isn’t designed to exceed. Steel threaded pipe for example has finite torsional and tensile properties, not to mention the threads on each joint which could be a vulnerability especially if the hole isn’t truly vertical all the way down. Btw, there are holes drilled deeper than the borla but they’re drilled horizontally for the most part. When drilling laterally, the temperature aspect may be manageable but the pressure and torque/tensile limitations are more prevalent.

    • @haydenf1353
      @haydenf1353 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@realitykicksin8755 Again the limitation is pressure (and in the case of motors, achieving differential pressure). Even with 70pcf mud, hydrostatic pressure at 40,000’ TVD is close to 20,000 psi which is far outside of the limitations of any mud pumps I know of.

      @haydenf1353 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@apacheaccountant9757 while I’m not an expert in the sequential pumps you’re talking about, the nitrogen introduces a different kind of problem. Without heavy mud to provide a buoyancy on the drill string, the length of pipe needed to drill further would be too heavy. For example, the borehole is 9” ID so we can maybe assume they were using the strongest 5.5” 24.7 ppf drill pipe. Without buoyancy to reduce the weight of the string, it would weigh about 988klbs. The tensile for this S135 pipe is only 704klbs nominally. So, lots of factors working against each other hence they could not drill deeper.

    • @haydenf1353
      @haydenf1353 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Correction: ammonia* not nitrogen. Regardless, even with ammonia (with a SG of .59) it would still create a heavy work string. Not to mention the PV and shear rate of Nitrofied mud or NH3 are far too low to reliably carry cuttings all the way to surface in my opinion.

    • @apacheaccountant9757
      @apacheaccountant9757 ปีที่แล้ว

      What if exclude a pump and drill string at all and use some heavy liquid so cuttings could float to the surface? Liquid with 5E3 kg/m3 would be enough for most minerals. Of course, in this case electric drill should have heavy sinker to create axial force at the bottom.

      Geologists and speleologists have calculated that only 10% of all caves have been discovered. So the potential for new and truly monstrously big caves is very real. One interesting thing to think about, the deepest caves in the world all formed in mountain ranges, where the water would slowely carve a path downward through the rocks, helped by CO2 dissolved it in making it acidic and as a result dissolving the rock, and gravity pulling it all to the lowest point. As a rule caves would stop becoming any deeper once they hit the water table, instead spreading outwards mostly horizontally from there on. The current deepest cave in the world is Verovkyna cave in Georgia, at the start of the Caucasus mountains, which is 2200 meters deep and reaches all the way from the top of the mountain to sea level, meaning it can't get any deeper unless the sea level would drastically lower. However there are plenty of mountain ranges made of limestone which are a lot higher than that, and so in theory any caves there could potentially be just as deep as the mountain in formed in. For the Andes mountains that can be as much as 6000+ meters, in the Himalays even as much as 8000+ meters. Caves have been discovered in the Himalays in mountains of 6000+ meters tall but thus far only very little of those caves has been explored because they're so hard to reach and in such inhospitable places, but their potential is absolutely astronomical....

He said ok, tomorrow report to 6800 level. Same as working at 7200 it was damn hot, one engineer measured it at 150 degrees F at the face.

    I was amazed at how deep the caves are, but then I realized it is not the depth below sea level but below the cave entrance. So even though a cave might be really "deep" it is actually still up a mountain. For example, the deepest point of Kubera Cave is 2km below the entrance, but the entrance is 4km up a mountain, so the cave "bottom" is actually quite high up. I tried to find which cave is the furthest below sea level, but strangely this does not seem to be a commonly tracked fact. I kept getting directed to the Kola borehole, which is clearly not a cave.

    • @PaulDeBie
      @PaulDeBie 2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      That is logical. The vast majority of caves is formed way above sealevel by water seeping into the ground and dissolving the rock. The water in caves will - as all water does - flow towards the sea. Mostly the water will surface somewhere in a spring, which feeds a river, which finally goes to the sea. Sometimes, the spring (or resurgence) can be situated in the sea itself (like the famous Mexican blue holes) . The bottom line is that any cave/spring that is below the sealevel, will be totally drowned and can only be explored by cave divers or sometimes ROV's. That limits the depth considerably. The deepest cave dive is by Xavier Meniscus who dived the Font d'Estramar spring to a depth of 286 m. Since this spring is situated at sealevel, this makes it also to deepest human explored cave below sealevel.

    • @cyber-dude
      @cyber-dude 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Yes, this is the somewhat misleading part of this video, that you can't really compare two things from here because they are ordered by the depth measured from the earth surface where they are located. They are not all measured relative to the same point, say sea level. For instance, Gotthard tunnel is placed at 2450m under but relative to sea level it's a good way up, more than 1000m so it shouldn't have been depicted at the 2450m under the same surface as the other things.

      Yes, the biosphere is incredibly thin. Life happens all within a film a few kilometers in thickness. To the cosmos, our entire existence is little more than a petri dish. I watched a video once from a sci-fi enthusiast who said that a planetary civilization could never, in any situation, successfully defend itself once space-superiority (like air-superiority) was lost. I disagree with that. If a planet was industrialized and technologically advanced so far beyond our current situation, that the entire thing (planet) became a giant organism of sorts, it would be truly monstrous. With thousands of cubic kilometers of machinery, projects such as capturing (removing) the entire atmosphere would be like a simple chore. Guns the size of skyscrapers could be constructed by the millions, launching hypersonic projectiles at targets across space. Lasers in the gigawatt range could accelerate long range projectiles to over 90% the speed of light. Manufacturing would be so vast as to make it possible to evacuate and fill with ablative armor country-sized landing sites for asteroids or small moons to be brought to the planet for consumption.

Highly radioactive nuclear waste is stored in copper-cast iron capsules. Capsules are then stored in bentonite clay, which prevents water from getting near the capsules.

    Once again, amazing work!!! This really put into perspective the depths we as humans have gone to. I have known about the Kola hole but never really had a sense of how deep. Just numbers on a screen. You just made it crazy obvious how deep it really is. And to think, that isn't really that far into the crust of the Earth. Could youmaybe oneday show just how shallow in comparison to the Earth it is. I think that would be freaking awesome to feel how deep it is then to see how it isn't that far into our HUGE planet it is. Even thou we don't really have a big planet in compared to the universes resident planets, lol. Thaank you for this vid! Keep up the amazing work!

    Now I want to see this depth comparison again but with fictional stuff from video games or movies, like Portal and it's massive underground facility

    Mponeng Gold Mine 6:35
    (Deepest mine in the world)
    - A Gold mine in south Africa.
    - Opened in 1980s
    - The trip from the surface to the bottom of the mine takes over and hour.
    - The mine contains at least two gold reefs, with the deepest one metre thick.

    Wow, this Mponeng mine is insanely deep. When I was still working as a miner, the deepest place I visited was the 1050 m level and I thought that was impressive back then.

    Great video. Really well researched and presented. At the very end it would be nice to spend a little longer on the “wide shot” just to get the overall perspective of the relative depths, BEFORE the credits and “click these videos” boxes appear on screen. Thank you.
