German term or phrase: Ankerrohrkolonne
This term is from a document on exploration drilling. The section is headed "Verrohrungsschema",

"Ankerrohrkolonne
Die Ankerrohrkolonne wird nach Durchteufen der 17-1/2”-Sektion bis zu einer Teufe von ca. 900 m mit 13-3/8“ 68# L-80 Tenaris MS verrohrt und bis zu Tage zementiert."

Ernst gives "axial conduit" for "ankerrorhr" - however, I am not sure if that fits this context and then there is still the "kolonne" .......?!

Any help/suggestions much appreciated!!!

surface casing / surface string
Explanation:
... according to a trustworthy English<>German oil and gas glossary I use, which contains the following entries:

Ankerrohrfahrt = surface casing, surface string
Ankerrohrtour = surface casing, surface string

IMHO "Ankerrohrtour" and "Ankerrohrfahrt" are synonyms of "Ankerrohrkolonne".
