target horizon

Explanation:
In an environmental dissertation the following translation can be found:

"Die Zielhorizonte waren Sandsteinformationen an der Basis der Rotliegend-Stratigraphie."

"The target horizons were sandstone formations at the base of the Rotliegend stratigraphy."

and

"Schlussfolgernd kann festgehalten werden, dass das Stimulationspotenzial der Zielhorizonte somit einerseits noch nicht ausgeschöpft, andererseits generell reservoirspezifisch begrenzt ist."

"The research has shown that the target horizons have the potential to serve as potential pay zones only if they bear a moderate initial productivity and can be developed in an energy and cost efficient manner. "
