    Sidoarjo mud flow

    A mud volcano that began erupting near Porong, Sidoarjo, in May 2006 was widely linked to a Lapindo Brantas gas-well drilling operation. The eruption affected settlements and displaced residents. Alternative explanations, including the role of a distant earthquake, were advanced by some scientists and company officials. The issue led to extensive compensation, emergency-response and resettlement activity.
