There are yet unidentified sources of fossil methane (CH 4 ) in the atmosphere. Mud volcanoes (MVs) a potentially significant but poorly quantified geologic source hydrocarbon gases and CO 2 to atmosphere ocean not included current models sinks. Our statistical analysis 36 previous measurements estimates gas flux from individual MVs suggests that global may be as high ∼33 Tg yr −1 (∼15.9 during quiescent periods plus ∼17.1 eruptions). Onshore shallow offshore estimated contribute ∼6...

Giant petroleum accumulations worldwide with burial depths more than 7000 m (>23,000 ft) occur mostly in Mesozoic and Cenozoic reservoirs yield predominantly natural gas. Recently, however, a giant oil accumulation reservoir between (23,000 8000 (26,000 was discovered the lower Paleozoic section southern part of Halahatang region Tarim Basin, China. Petroleum sourced from rocks is contained Ordovician karst fracture-cave sealed by Middle–Upper limestones mudstones. The newly superdeep among...
A seafloor mud volcano north of Norway is presenting researchers with an uncommon example venting and raising important questions. Seafloor aqueous vents, gas volcanoes, diapirs are found in a variety geological settings. However, scientists did not expect to discover at the northern site, now known as Haakon Mosby Mud Volcano (HMMV). It considered especially unusual because its Arctitc Location (72°N), development largely within glacial marine sediments, lack association either salt...
