French term or phrase: puits de calage sismique
In a text about oil production, the sentence refers to "réinterpretation de lignes sismiques supplémentaires" and "réalisation de x puits de calage sismiques". There seem to be a multitude of meanings for "calage", and I'm not sure which one is appropriate here. By the way, my display doesn't seem to allow me to add notes to questions. Anyone else have the same difficulty? Many thanks for any advice you can offer.

I think you're probably right, and one of the references refers directly to the term "calibration borehole". So I've plumped for this one. Thank you both for your suggestions.

Calage here refers more to the measurement or gauging of seismic activity (as through sensors, etc.) detected in wells/boreholes as opposed to calibration (any form of calibration should have taken place before the measurement can be carried out).
