Abu Dhabi has built a giant oil drill that is 60 metres high and can dig more than 10,000 metres deep.

"This is giant drill is an important technical innovation for the entire Middle East," said Samir Ghalaini, chairman of Adrico, the company that built the drill.
At a cost of $15 million, the drill has a power of two-thousand horses and is the first in the world to use a hydraulic cylinder in the lifting process, he said.
The company will deliver a similar drill to Saudi Arabia, he added.
US Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman lauded the UAE for investing in expanding its capacity and production in the face of high world oil prices.
