How were the fire pits found in Turkmenistan?

Turkmenistan's fire pits are located in the interior of Asia, in the Mediterranean Mediterranean, and are often threatened. Similar to other Central Asian countries, about 80% of the country's territory is desert and Gobi, so it is also one of the driest regions in the world. However, there are surprises and joys, although the climate here is harsh, there are also abundant resources.

Back in 1971, Turkmenistan invited the Soviet Union, one of the two hegemons at that time, in order to develop its domestic resources.

At that time, the Soviet Union sent a team of experts to Turkmenistan to explore the local natural resources. No oil was found, but a large amount of natural gas was detected. Later, the team set up camp in the southern town of Dawaza, in Turkmenistan, and prepared to dig three large pits at a nearby site for sampling.

The plan was well executed at the beginning, and the first two large pits were dug well without causing any other incidents.

The bad part is in the third hole, which seems to be very close to the underground natural gas, and the surface soil is relatively fluffy. Halfway through the digging, it suddenly collapsed, creating a large crater that resembled a crater. At the time, this did not attract much attention, thinking that it was just a simple underground cave collapse.

Within a few days, the crater had grown from about 20 meters in diameter to about 100 meters, and a large amount of natural gas had been detected. In 1972, the team of experts at that time could not find a good way to stop the gas leak, and the volume of the leak was getting bigger and bigger, which was likely to affect the survival of the surrounding animals, and in severe cases, it could cause death.

In order to convert the natural gas into a non-toxic gas, the experts decided to set it on fire. The matter was solved, and the surrounding animals did not have to fear being poisoned, but new problems arose. At first, experts thought that the natural gas content here would burn for a few months at most, but it has been burning for almost 50 years now.

In the past 50 years, the Soviet Union has collapsed, science and technology have progressed, and the war in Afghanistan next to it has ended, and the fire in this pit has not been extinguished until now. According to calculations, the economic losses caused by the burning of the pit in the past few decades have reached 50 billion US dollars, and Turkmenistan has died of distress.

Fire pits are not natural, they are man-made. In the 70s of the last century, a group of geologists accidentally discovered a natural gas underground cavern while drilling near the village called Dawaza, and later during the mining process, a ring collapsed, forming a large crater. Accidents during drilling are normal, but this is not a simple landslide, because there is a large amount of natural gas and various toxic gases in the cave, and once a large amount of it is overflowed, the consequences are unimaginable.

So, with the permission of **, the experts ignited the gas in the hole. I thought that these gases would burn out in ten days and a half months, but what I never expected was that once the fire was lit, it burned for more than 40 years, and to this day, there is still no sign of stopping.

The fire pit found in Turkmenistan is called the Gate of Hell, which is a large naturally formed hole that was discovered during the mining process and has a very high temperature inside.

In 1971, in order to develop domestic resources, experts sent by the Soviet Union were invited to investigate and discover this situation.

There are countless things in the magical nature that you can't think of, and the emergence of special things makes people re-examine the natural world and themselves. In the reader's mind, the gates of hell represent the opening of the gates of death. This is not the case with the gates of hell in Turkmenistan, the opening of this miraculous gate shocked the whole world at the time, and no one has allowed it to close until now.

Gates of Hell: A pit that has burned for 46 years and has never been extinguished.

In the middle of the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan, there is a large crater with a diameter of about 70 meters. An accidental probe allowed the Soviets to discover this place. The appearance of the crater was caused by man-made reasons by Soviet geologists.

Miraculously, the fire burning inside the pit has never been extinguished for 46 years. This phenomenon is so amazing that it calls this large man-made crater the gates of hell in Turkmenistan.

Turkmenistan's Gates of Hell are located on the site of a former gas field. In 1971, Soviet geologists, while drilling, stumbled upon an underground cavern filled with natural gas. Dawaza is a village in this area, and its vicinity is rich in natural gas, as well as 3 natural gas pits.

In order to make better use of this resource, geologists decided to dig natural gas here after discussion.

During the excavation process, a large pit with a diameter of about 70 meters was formed due to the collapse of the drilling equipment. Fearing that the toxic gases in the pit would be released and harm humans, the geologists finally decided to ignite the leaking natural gas, and the fire began to burn continuously. Until now, the fire at the gates of hell in Turkmenistan has been burning for 46 years but has not been extinguished, which many people think is incredible.

The continuous burning of surface fires is fundamentally due to the fact that natural gas underground fires have not been extinguished. They started to think about drilling a well to get a lot of gas in it, but that would require a lot of storage facilities and it would be difficult to achieve. Later, many conventional means were used but the fire was not extinguished.

In one of the first flights, the Soviets decided to detonate a nuclear bomb with a yield of 30 thousand tons underground, and successfully locked the oil and gas wells, and the fire pit burned quietly to prevent unnecessary **. Prev 0 2 Next.

The answer is naturally not, it is a huge flame crater, and the official name is the Darvaza gas crater, quot, thedarvazacrater, as of now, this crypt has been burning for 49 years In the Journey to the West, the Flaming Mountain is depicted as, there is no spring and no autumn, all seasons are hot, there are 800 miles of flames, there is no grass around, and the gates of hell in Turkmenistan also make a real, underground flaming mountain, appear in front of everyone.
