An excellent example of how the term “pay” sands is established. Although not in all cases, but in many cases, multiple pay sands can be a common occurrence. A “pay” sand is a reservoir or portion of a reservoir that contains economically producible hydrocarbons. The term derives from the fact that it is capable of "paying" an income.

A comprehensive introduction to the technical processes involved in drilling an oil and/or gas well. This video illustrates the processes involved in the preparation of a drill site, the drilling phase, the completion of a successful well and the eventual sale of oil and gas.
Introduction to Well Logging

Well logging is the practice of making a detailed scientific record (a well log) of the geologic formations penetrated by a borehole. The electronic log (E-Log) records physical measurements made by sophisticated instruments lowered into the hole which give scientists information as to the potential presence of oil and gas.
