Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci
Italian term or phrase: foro di sondaggio
I think it's something like a drill bore, but I don't quite know what it is, or how to say it. Here is the sentence, which concerns a technician accidentally puncturing a subterranean fuel tank, and not stopping immediately.

Successivamente alla perforazione dell cisterna, il tecnico non ha fatto spegnere la sonda perforatrice lasciando il carotiere all'interno del foro di sondaggio congelando di fatto la situazione al momento dell'incidente, ma ha fatto estrarre il carotiere e ha fatto allontanare la sonda dal cantiere.

Any help would be great. Thanks!
