Science - Geology / workover
German term or phrase: PEG (workover)
Variable costs

The study (whose detailing was otherwise unconventional) included a direct reference of the variable costs by volume specifically as they pertained to extracted probes. The following figures were determined as a result of this study:

• electricity purchased
• gas purchased
• outside services (PEG workover)
• outside repairs

Please note that it was listed as 'PEG Workover' in the German version though I don't know what it means, if it's an English abb., whether or not to leave it as is, etc.
