pay economically producible hydrocarbons Explanation: pay English | Español 1. n. [Geology] A reservoir or portion of a reservoir that contains economically producible hydrocarbons. The term derives from the fact that it is capable of "paying" an income. Pay is also called pay sand or pay zone. The overall interval in which pay sections occur is the gross pay; the smaller portions of the gross pay that meet local criteria for pay (such as minimum porosity, permeability and hydrocarbon saturation) are net pay. See: hydrocarbon, permeability, porosity, reservoir, sand Reference: http://glossary.oilfield.slb.com/en/Terms/p/pay.aspx |

pay продуктивный пласт Explanation: чаще встречается как pay zone. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2015-03-09 05:08:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, for my comment only in Russian. Pay or more often used as 'pay zone' is the synonim of producing interval. |

Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrophysics Reference information: Thickness of rock with enough permeability to deliver fluids to a well bore is often called “Net reservoir rock.” In the oil and gas industry, another quantity “Net Pay” is computed which is the thickness of rock that can deliver hydrocarbons to the well bore at a profitable rate. |
