Science - Geology / wells/drilling/sandstone
German term or phrase: ZK
ZK is listed at what appears to be the lowest point of a drill hole diagram (for oil processing). However, there are two points marked with ZK and the other may be an original hole that was further drilled later. I looked up Z as an oil field acronym and it states depth. If that's true, then I'm really only missing the K.
