Oil spills can be caused by the accidental or intentional release of any form of petroleum during any point in the oil production process, from drilling, refining, or storing to transporting.

déversement d’hydrocarbures; déversement de pétrole : Ne pas confondre avec «rejet» ou «décharge». En effet, un déversement est consécutif à un rejet ou une décharge, et non l'inverse. 6, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9versement%20d%27hydrocarbures

Dans les situations de déversement, les termes «hydrocarbures» et «pétrole» sont utilisés de façon interchangeable, dans un sens large, étant donné qu'un déversement peut comporter n'importe quel type d'hydrocarbure ou de mélange d'hydrocarbures. 6, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9versement%20d%27hydrocarbures
