Tech/Engineering - Geology / wells/ oil drilling/sands
German term or phrase: k.ABW
This is related to my most recent previous post about oil drilling; for example, each drill hole has a name like ABDG 1,2,3 etc. but only a few of them are instead titled "ABDG 344 k.ABW." These are spread out sporadically and have no other indication of what they could stand for. The numbers are also all within the same range as other entries. Please let me know if you have any guesses.

Other categories are as follows:

Name
Top. o.L. (oberer Lager)
Maechtigkeit (o.L., u.L.)
Top u.L.
Phi o.L.
Phi u.L.

no Deviation


Explanation:
Maybe "keine Abweichung". Keine Abweichung von der Vertikalen??

Can you provide more text in German? For instance, how is drill hole in the source text (Ausbohrung?)? Maybe the acronym ABDG signifies something.
