A distinct interval or layer within a geological formation, characterized by specific lithological, petrophysical, or fluid properties. It can represent a productive hydrocarbon reservoir, a water-bearing aquifer, or a non-reservoir rock unit. In well logging, zones are identified by consistent responses across multiple logs, indicating a uniform rock type or fluid content.
