Sidoarjo mud flow
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". The Sidoarjo mud flow is the result of an erupting mud volcano[4] 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 it was credited to the blowout of a natural gas well drilled by Lapindo Brantas, although some scientists[5] and company officials contend it was caused by a distant earthquake.
Lapindo Brantas took responsibility in covering the cost of emergency response and victim resettlement, paying more than Rp.5 trillion (approx. US$550 million)[6] despite its acquittal as the cause of the mudflow in 2009 by Indonesia's Supreme Court.[7]
