French term or phrase: infission

In an "End of drilling report", I found "infission" several times. I guess it means penetration, but is there an actual technical word in English?

"Première infission de la colonne-guide jusqu'à 73,50 m avec mouton Delmag D 22.
Pénétration avec son poids propre jusqu'à 55,80 m
Infission réelle 20 m
Refus final 1,5 mm/coup
Seconde infission de la colonne-guide jusqu'à 51,90 m avec mouton Delmag D 22.
Pénétration avec son poids propre jusqu'à 75,80 m et de 76,60 m à 80,70 m
Infission réelle 28,40 m
Refus final 1,5 mm/coup"

"Après la première infission du tube-guide (sabot à 73,50 m), on a foré jusqu'à 77 m avec trépan 26"..."
