  Kola Superdeep Borehole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kola Superdeep Borehole (KSDB) was a scientific drilling project of the USSR to drill into the Earth's crust.
A number of boreholes were made from a central branch.
This deep borehole was the inspiration for urban legends involving drilling to Hell.

The Kola Superdeep Borehole (KSDB) is a Russian-funded project to drill into the Earth's crust.
Begun in 1970 on the Kola Peninsula, a number of boreholes were made from a central branch.
The stated areas of study were the deep structure of the Baltic Shield; seismic discontinuities and the thermal regime in the Earth's crust; the physical and chemical composition of the deep crust and the transition from upper to lower crust; lithospheric geophysics; and to create and develop technologies for deep geophysical study.

The Kola Peninsula in relation to [[Scandinavia, the White Sea, Barents Sea, Lake Onega, Lake Ladoga, and foreign countries.]] The Kola Peninsula (&1050;&1086;&1083;&1100;&1089;&1082;&1080;&1081; &1087;&1086;&1083;&1091;&1086;&1089;&1090;&1088;&1086;&1074;, Kol'skij poluostrov in Russian) is a Peninsula in the far north of Russia, part of the Murmansk Oblast.
The Kola Peninsula is extremely rich in various ores and minerals, including apatites, alumina sources, iron ore,mica, ceramic raw, titanium ore, phlogopite, and vermiculite, as well as ores of less-common and colored metals.
The Kola Superdeep Borehole is the deepest borehole in the world.

The Borehole's depth is as much a testament to perseverance as it is to technical prowess.
The only western excavation that came close to the Borehole's depth--and was briefly the record holder for the world's deepest manmade hole--is the Bertha Rogers oil well in Oklahoma.
The Kola Superdeep Borehole eventually overtook the Rogers well and has outpaced all competing efforts to remain one of the "deepest" scientific achievements in history.

The drilling of the main borehole began in 1970, and a final depth of 12,262 metres was reached in 1994.
The superdeep borehole at Oberpfälz, Germany, was expected to pass through a 3-to-5-km-thick nappe* complex into a suture zone formed by a supposed continental collision.
In the Kola borehole, the temperature at 10-km depth was 180°C rather than the expected 100°C. Measurements revealed significant vertical variations in temperature gradient and heat-flux density along the borehole.

The Kola Peninsula (Кольский полуостров, Kol'skij poluostrov in Russian) is a peninsula in the far north of Russia, part of the Murmansk Oblast.
Because the last ice age removed the top sediment layer of the soil, the Kola Peninsula is on the surface extremely rich in various ores and minerals, including apatites, alumina sources, iron ore, mica, ceramic raw, titanium ore, phlogopite, and vermiculite, as well as ores of less-common and colored metals.
The Kola Superdeep Borehole which is the deepest borehole in the world, is located here also, near the Norwegian border.

The Kola Superdeep Borehole (KSDB, also often referred by its Russian acronym as SG-3) is the world’s deepest borehole.
By correlating the KSDB log data with the results of the recent CDP and VSP seismic experiments carried out by the University of Wyoming, we arrive at significant conclusions about the physical state of deep crystalline rocks and about the nature of deep seismic reflections.

 Damn Interesting » The Deepest Hole
Before the superdeep borehole project was undertaken, practitioners of Geology had reached a number of conclusions regarding the Earth's deep crust based on observations and seismic data.
The last of the cores to be plucked from from the borehole were dated to be about 2.7 billion years old, or roughly 32 million times older than Abe Vigoda.
The Kola Core repository in ZapolyarniyKola was not the first nor the last attempt at drilling a superdeep borehole, but it has been the most successful so far.

Former studies were restricted to depths down to 4 km (Roeloffs, PureandAppl.Geoph.,1988) since superdeep boreholes did not exist.
This project leader has recently started similar investigations in the German Superdeep Drillhole KTB with coworkers J.Endom, E.Huenges, and K.Schulze (Endom and Kuempel, Scientific Drilling,1994; Schulze et al., in print, 1999), but here free fluid flow is hampered by a viscous liquid obstruction in the deepest part of the 9.1 km deep borehole.

The drilling of the Kola superdeep well was designed to study geological processes including ore forming, and to define geological nature of seismic boundaries of the continental crust.
The study was undertaken over 20 years in 3 phases.
The objectives were to (1) drill through and study zones between granite and basaltic layers of the earth crust, (2) create new drilling technology for deep and superdeep wells, (3) improve existing methods of comprehensive geophysical studies of rocks located at great depths, (4) and study the feasibility of geological disposal of radioactive waste.
