Spanish term

bache (Venezuela)

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci offshore drilling
On an offshore drilling rig: "Tanque de bacheo: Dos tanques para preparacion de baches..." Possibly "preparacion" should be "reparacion". In Mexico "bache" is a pothole, but I'm wondering if it would have a different meaning on a drilling platform.

Me parece que puede ser tanques para la preparación de la mezcla de reparar los baches (los famosos huecos de mi país)

batch

If this were any kind of factory rather than a drilling rig, I would say with confidence that "preparation" is correct and that "baches" is a misspelling of "batches." In this context, I'm not sure, since I don't know of anything that an oil(?) drilling rig would mix up in batches in the two batch tanks.

Anyway, you might want to check the greater context and see if this idea works. Good luck!
