Groundbreaking drilling project unlocks secrets of Earth's depths at Cajon Pass
The Cajon Pass Scientific Drilling Project drilled a hole 2115 meters deep to conduct specific science experiments. They focused on drilling practices like hole size, spot coring, and monitoring drilling parameters. The researchers also looked at the chemical and physical properties of drilling fluids and pipe lubricants. The main goal was to gather data on the Earth's subsurface in this region.
