Science - Geology / oil field
German term or phrase: OWC
Please read.

I know that OWC can mean 'oil-water contact'. However, I had help translating TOWC to mean 'top of well casing' so I'm wondering if one of the two of these abbreviations is wrong in this context. Or even if both are correct, please tell me.

Bohrung mit OWC und Teufenlage (m bez. auf NN)
Bohrung vollst. verwaessert
Bohrung mit Porositaetslog
(subcategories) 868 m Teufenlage des TOWC TOWC(top of well casing)
880 m OWC = 880 m OWC

Thank you!

TOWC is not very common as Joshua pointed out (your previous question)
