| | barreras de la zapata de flotación (o espacio entre la zapata y el collar de flotación) | Explanation:
Una vez corrida, la tubería de revestimiento se asienta sobre el fondo del pozo o justo encima del fondo. El primer tramo de la tubería de revestimiento tiene una zapata de flotación o zapata guía en el extremo. Esta zapata sirve para proteger el extremo de la tubería de revestimiento y ayuda a guiarla en su paso hacia el fondo del pozo. Después del primer o segundo tramo, se instala un collar de flotación. El espacio situado entre el collar de flotación y la zapata se denomina recorrido de zapata y suele tener unos 80 pies de largo. Normalmente, el recorrido de zapata se deja lleno
de cemento al final del trabajo de cementación.

shoe track
The space between the float or guide shoe and the landing or float collar. The principal function of this space is to ensure that the shoe is surrounded in high-quality cement and that any contamination that may bypass the top cement plug is safely contained within the shoe track.
