English term or phrase: pay zone
The wireline logging company can easily identify the presence of oil or gas and the exact position of such a "pay zone" in the well, in terms of depth and extent.

I also found it as one-word, payzone (don't think it makes any difference).
And I also found the term "pay" on Wikipedia: Pay (geology) "Pay is an expression used in hydrocarbon mining. It denotes a portion of a reservoir that contains economically recoverable hydrocarbons. The term derives from the possibility of "paying" an income surpassing the costs. Equivalent terms are pay sand or pay zone. Overall interval in which pay volumes occur is the gross pay; smaller portions of the reservoir that meet further criteria for pay (such as permeability and hydrocarbon saturation) are net pay."


Thank you in advance.
