This article ( http://www.mms.gov/omm/pacific/enviro/seeps1.htm ) is just one example of the historical seepage of oil and natural gas from petroleum deposits underground (and under water). It might even have been slowed over the recent past because we've depleted so many of those deposits. A case could be made that oil drilling has actually reduced oil slicks (barring the odd catastrophe). Even I can remember walking on the beach at Santa Monica and seeing tar patches that my grandparents explained had washed in from the ocean. There is even a well-known tourist destination in Los Angeles that celebrates oil seepage: La Brea Tar Pits.
