éclusement - from écluse, a lock in a canal, through which water is "drained off".

Usually used for physical assets such as natural resources, but I have seen the word used for financial assets. In that sense, it would match the style of French used.
Sec. 1.612-3 Depletion; treatment of bonus and advanced royalty.
(a) Bonus. (1) If a bonus in addition to royalties is received upon the grant of an economic interest in a mineral deposit, or standing timber, there shall be allowed to the payee as a cost depletion deduction in respect of the bonus an amount equal to that proportion of his basis for depletion as provided in section 612 and Sec. 1.612-1 which the amount of the bonus bears to the sum of the bonus and the royalties expected to be received.

Conor McAuley
: I agree that "depleted" is a better match in terms of style with the French, but will it match up in terms of style with advance or whatever the asker is using for "avance" / no offence intended
