English term or phrase: target pay zone...
Again from this text about oil/gas drilling:
The target pay zones are good behind pipe potential, which should be above the well-borne problems associated with the blow out.
What does "pay-zone" mean in this context? Since this profile is targeted to investors, does this mean they are lucrative? (or am I completely off here?)
Thanks for any help.

4. Eurodicautom

English Phraseology: prior to the 1930s,casing could be perforated in place by mechanical perforators,but the general unreliability of these devices was a natural deterrent to any type of set-through(casing set through pay zone)completion

German Phraseology: vor 1930 konnten Futterrohre im Traegerbereich durch mechanische Perforatoren perforiert werden; die allgemeine unzuverlaessigkeit dieser Geraete war jedoch ein natuerliches Abschreckungsmittel fuer jede Art Komplettierung mit durchgehenden Futterrohren(Futterrohre werden durch den Traegerbereich eingebaut)

5. Eurodicautom

English Phraseology some wells are completed barefoot,which means that the last string of casing is cemented into an impermeable cap rock above the production zone and the hole drilled into the pay zone is left uncased
German Phraseology einige Bohrungen werden nach dem "Barfuss"-Verfahren komplettiert,was bedeutet,dass die letzte Futterrohrtour in die die Produktionszone ueberlagernde undurchlaessige Felsschicht zementiert wird,und der im Traegerbereich liegende Teil des Bohrloches unverrohrt bleibt

target pay zone - vielleicht als eine Zusammensetzung mit "Ziel-" ??

It is the zone that has an ideal temperature for effective geothermal heat exchange (= pay zone).

I hope this helps. Look at the website and try to compare it with your own document. I am sure you will find the right translation in there.
