Spanish term or phrase: Agujero del pozo.
I would like to know what will be the best way to translate this phrase from Latin American Spanish into American English.

Is borehole or wellbore translation for this phrase?

Here is the full phrase:

Una ganancia en el nivel de fluido también podría indicar que está entrando fluido al agujero del pozo debido a que la presión de los poros de la formación es mayor que la presión.

It's a translation about oil.

agree  Ana Resende: somewhere else (in this site) I've already suggested "borehole" to translate "agujero del pozo". Though both mean almost the same thing, I think "borehole" is the usual term
