Spanish term

compra de crudo

Spanish to English Other Petroleum Eng/Sci Colombian Spanish
These are standalone instructions in a Colombian contract. I am confused with the structure of the sentences. Compra de crudo Chenche...does it mean purchase of crude oil "from" or "for" or "of" Chenche??
Or it conveys something else..?

COMPRA DE CRUDO CHENCHE
COMPRA DE CRUDO CARBONERA LA SILLA
COMPRA CRUDO DOÑA MARIA
COMPRA DE PRODUCTOS LA CIRA

I agree...Although Google´s language tool are not so good as it was before it changes...
philgoddard Dec 8, 2009:
I don't think this is really a translation question - it's more about finding out (from Google or the client) what these names refer to. I Googled Chenche and it's an oilfield among other things.
