Shenhai Jing
Shenhai Jing ( Chinese 燊 海 井 , Pinyin Shēnhǎi Jǐng ) is a salt well in the southern Sichuan Basin in the Da'an district of Zigong in the Chinese province of Sichuan . Natural gas is also produced .
It was drilled between 1823 and 1835 during the Qing Dynasty and was the first well in the world to be over 1,000 meters deep.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zigong began using natural gas to boil down the brine.
