Thanks a lot! I just needed a hint/direction to move. In my context the phrase actually means something like "Расплата за нефтяные пятна: серьезность последствий ошеломляет!"

thar's gold in them thar spills В них золото, в этих утечках (разливах)

Explanation:
Spills - утечки, разливы и т.п. - нефти или нефтепродуктов, вероятно.

В приведенной уже до меня фразе "thar's gold in them thar hills" речь шла о холмах, горах (hills), в которых нашли золото. Здесь же, обыгрывая эту фразу, hills заменили на spills.
