"What do you mean by seep, where do you think oil comes from?"

Source rock. Which, due to temperature, is viable only down to a few kilometers. Much deeper and the temperatures cause the petroleum precursors to degrade.

"As far as earthquake depth that can range from surface to - 700 km."

Yes. However, those much shallower than about 10km or so are very rare. Most are some small multiple of that.

The deepest we have drilled is about 10 km.

Do the math.
