Surely not "parcels." "Lots" would be what I usually would use, but doesn't seem to fit the context of shipments of barrels of natural gas. To complicate matters, "Lote" is used elsewhere in the document to refer to the plots of land from which natural gas is extracted.

Thank you.

A brief internet search reveals that (strange though it might seem) "batches" appears to be commonly used in such contexts. Thank you, Ana.
