microhomo

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Hydrocarbons drill location document - Argentine Spanish
Here is where the word appears:

La cañería de superficie o de seguridad alcanzará no sólo la profundidad adecuada por los requisitos de control de presión, sino que también se extenderá hasta cubrir el total de horizontes acuíferos de baja salinidad, considerando como tal un máximo de 2.000 microhomo por centímetro cuadrado de conductividad específica.

Thank you!

Seguramente... ...se trata de ohmio u ohm, ohm en inglés. Typo, evidentemente.
