> Drilling of the fifth hole started in April 1994 from 8,278 metres (27,159 ft) of depth of the third hole. Drilling was stopped in August 1994 at 8,578 metres (28,143 ft) of depth due to lack of funds and the well itself was mothballed
Seems like it wasn’t technically limited. Sad to see the hole welded shut in a pile of rubble in the photos there.
