neutral  Carmen Schultz: "Derrame" no funciona porque se asocia con derrames de buques/tanqueros de petróleo y aparte un derrame implica una cantidad grande de hidrocarburos mientras que filtraciones o indicaciones implica un hallazgo potencial de un pozo petrolero productivo.

filtraciones o indicaciones de hidrocarburos; filtraciones petrolíferas o de petróleo


Explanation:
filtraciones o indicaciones de hidrocarburos; filtraciones petrolíferas o de petróleo

La palabra "derrame" no funciona porque se asocia con derrames de buques/tanqueros de petróleo y aparte un derrame implica una cantidad grande de hidrocarburos mientras que filtraciones o indicaciones implica un hallazgo en potencia de un pozo petrolero productivo.

Note: A couple of other ways \"seeps\" are called: \"Botes de petróleo\" and Menes de petróleo (\"Mene\" is used in Venezuela especially before the name of a Seep such as \"Mene Grande,\" \"Mene de Mauroa,\" etc.
Arthur Schultz, my dad, informed me of these last two terms. He worked as Exploration Expert in several capacities for Mobil Oil (now Exxon) in South America for over 30 years.

Oops, it is \"brotes de petróleo\" not botes ...(genuine typo).
