menangga

My guess: menangga (from base word tangga) based on definition below.

Benching (Benching system): A method of protecting employees from cave-ins by excavating the sides of an excavation to form one or a series of horizontal levels or steps, usually with vertical or near-vertical surfaces between levels.

You need to search for these terms in construction glossaries and websites and not petroleum.

Benching = Terracing on a slope.

So another alternative is \'meneres\'.
Kamus Dewan: meneres = membuat teres, e.g. meneres bukit
... as in Indonesia ...
