Anyways, here are some more references:

"zapata de revestidor = casing shoe"

"In oil drilling and borehole mining, a casing shoe or guide shoe is a bull-nose shaped device which is attached to the bottom of the casing string. A casing hanger, which allows the casing to be suspended from the wellhead, is attached to the top of the casing."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casing_shoe

"casing shoe. 1. n. [Drilling], ID: 1268. The bottom of the casing string, including the cement around it, or the equipment run at the bottom of the casing"
http://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/Display.cfm?Term=casing...

This reference contains both the English and the Spanish, but in separate parts of the text:

"Entrada del agua a través de la zapata del revestidor (pobre cementación ó ... agua canalizada provenientes de las formaciones superiores al casing shoe. ..."

Note: I think the word "liner" is also used in some applications for "revestimento" - but the term "casing" seems to be more common in when talking about drilling oil wells for the petroleum industry.

Note: Spanish "revestidor" can mean either "casing" or "liner" depending on the context. In the context of the longer phrase "zapata de revestidor" or "casing shoe," it is probably best to translate "revestidor" as "casing", as shown by the Wikipedia entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casing_shoe

...and in this oil drilling glossary entry from Schlumberger:

"casing shoe 1. n. [Drilling] The bottom of the casing string, including the cement around it, or the equipment run at the bottom of the casing string.
Alternate Form: shoe"
