The Sidoarjo mud flow (commonly known as Lumpur Lapindo, wherein lumpur is the Indonesian word for mud; and as Lusi (Lumpur Sidoarjo)) is the result of an erupting mud volcano[1] in the subdistrict of Porong, Sidoarjo in East Java, Indonesia that has been in eruption since May 2006. It is the biggest mud volcano in the world; responsibility for the disaster was assigned to the blowout of a natural gas well drilled by Lapindo Brantas,[2] although company officials contend it was caused by a very distant earthquake that occurred in a different province.[3]
At its peak it spewed up to 180,000 cubic metres (6,400,000 cu ft; 240,000 cu yd) of mud per day.[4] By mid-August 2011, mud was being discharged at a rate of 10,000 cubic meters (13,000 cu yd) per day, with 15 bubbles around its gushing point. This was a significant decline from the previous year, when mud was being discharged at a rate of 100,000 cubic meters (130,000 cu yd) per day with 320 bubbles around its gushing point.[5] It is expected that the flow will continue for the next 25 to 30 years.[4][6] Although the Sidoarjo mud flow has been contained by levees since November 2008, resultant floodings regularly disrupt local highways and villages, and further breakouts of mud are still possible.[7]
