Abstract: Early in the morning of the 29th of May 2006, hot mud started erupting from the ground in the densely populated Porong District of Sidoarjo, East Java. With initial flow rates of ~5000 cubic meters per day, the mud quickly inundated neighbouring villages. Over two years later and the 'Lusi' eruption has increased in strength, expelling over 50 million cubic meters of mud at an average rate of approximately 100000 cubic meters per day. The mud flow has now covered over 700 hectares of land to depths of over 20 meters, engulfing a dozen villages and displacing over 25000 people. The Lusi eruption is an example of a mud volcano, a relatively common feature in sedimentary basins that have been rapidly deposited or are in tectonically active areas. However, controversy remains regarding what triggered the mud eruption. Some scientists believe the eruption was triggered by the Magnitude 6.4 Yogyakarta earthquake that occurred on the 27th of May 2006. However, other researchers believe the mud eruption resulted from a drilling accident in the adjacent Banjar Panji-1 exploration well. This talk will review the events leading up to and following the Lusi eruption, discuss the attempts made to contain and stop the mud flow and examine the competing theories about what triggered the eruption. About the speaker: Mark Tingay is currently an Australian Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer in the Department of Applied Geology at Curtin University where he examines the tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins in SE Asia. His primary field of research is in petroleum geomechanics, pore pressure prediction and neotectonics. In particular, he specialises in studying the mechanics of rock failure and fluid mobilisation in zones of very high pore pressure, including oil field blowouts and natural features, such as mud volcanoes, shale dykes and shale diapirs. Dr Tingay graduated with a PhD in geophysics from the Australian School of Petroleum in 2003. Following his PhD, he became the petroleum geomechanics researcher at the World Stress Map Project in Germany, where he undertook collaborative petroleum geomechanics projects with over twenty petroleum companies in more than a dozen countries, including Azerbaijan, Egypt, Oman, Thailand and Malaysia. He has published over 20 papers, consulted on numerous petroleum geomechanics projects in SE Asia and taught several industry short courses on petroleum geomechanics and tectonics. for PESA WA Start at the new Yahoo!7 for a better online experience. www.yahoo7.com.au
