    Petrobras sets record for exploratory drilling in water depth of 3.000 meters

    The corporation is a world leader in deep-water drilling technology and accounts for nearly 30% of the world's 50 deepest wells.

    Petrobras has set a new Brazilian record for exploratory drilling by reaching a water depth of nearly 3,000 meters, the state-controlled oil giant said. The 3-BRSA-1296-SES well was drilled to a water depth of 2,988 meters - eight meters more than the 3-SES-184 well Petrobras drilled in February in that same basin - and a total depth of 6,060 meters.
