Yes, there have been recorded incidents of oil rig explosions at depths exceeding a mile. One notable example is the Deepwater Horizon disaster, which occurred in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico at a depth of approximately 5,000 feet (about 1.5 miles). This catastrophic event resulted in a massive oil spill and highlighted the risks associated with deepwater drilling. Other deepwater rigs have also experienced accidents, although they are less common.
