'Derrame de petróleo' or 'Marea negra' may be Spanish equivalents of 'oil spill'.

The masculine noun 'derrame', which literally means 'spillage', takes as its singular definite article 'el'['the'], and as its singular indefinite article 'uno' ['a, one']. The preposition 'de' means 'of, from'. The masculine noun 'petróleo' means 'oil, petroleum'. All together, they're pronounced 'dehr-RAH-meh theh peh-TROH-lyoh'.

The feminine noun 'marea', which literally means 'tide', takes as its singular definite article 'la', and as its singular indefinite article 'una'. The feminine adjective 'negra' means 'black'. Together, they're pronounced 'mah-REH-ah NEH-grah'.
