escoamento morro abaixo


Explanation:
Trata-se de escoamento livre por gravidade. O texto original visa ilustrar que as áreas sensíveis ao derramamento ou vazamento se localizam em cotas de altura abaixo do ponto do acidente inicial e que o fluxo livre do material pode se dar em direção a estas áreas sensíveis, por ação da gravidade.

fluxo em declive


Explanation:
Pretty self-explanatory; in Brazilian Portuguese, you can say 'escorrer abaixo', but taking the entire sentence into context:

(in case of oil flowing downhill) > '(em caso de fluxo em declive)

The text doesn't imply an actual downhill spill; only the direction in which the oil is flowing.
