If they are making this claim based on the actualy depth drilled, then they're wrong (as Fotze pointed out), cause I can think of about 200 wells off the top of my head that are deeper (guess what I do for a living )

You challenge the validity of science journal articles? [/b][/quote]
I'm not sure if you're serious or not, but the article says that the well was drilled to 1400 or so m. So if they are talking about depth drilled, and not subsea depth as a referece for being the third deepest well ever drilled, then I'm not challenging it, I am outright saying it is wrong. The 200 or so wells that I deal with on a daily basis are drilled to around 2500 m. So this well isn't even close. However, not knowing how deep the water is, I have no idea what he sub sea depth is, and if that is what they are using for their total depth, than it may very well be the third deepest ever drilled. Either way, the article is incredibly unclear, and left out a pretty vital piece of information that a huge number of people would almost instantly pick up on.
