More of a press release than an article.

The last company that drilled that deep went bankrupt.

Historically, only 20% of wells in the region are
successful.

Not sure what the late Burt Reynolds has to do with
oil well drilling.

OBSF: Stanton's _Hidden World_.

I'm sure that they understand that the pressure at those depths are
far greater than could be survived by any human, so they completely
disregarded 100+ year old fiction when making their go no-go determination.

I'm sure that it's just a coincidence that my copy of the Doctor Who
story, "Inferno", is arriving this afternoon. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(Doctor_Who)>

If you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much
more like prunes than rhubarb does.
