1 mile = 5280ft ........

average well in the southern north sea is 9800 - 14800 ft below sea level

average water depth in gulf of mexico 5299ft

So a mile of ice no problem drilling through

you might have a problem running casing and cementing so it doesnt collapse , but that is something the oil industry can probably solve
