Strike-slip faulting as a trigger mechanism for overpressure release through piercement structures. Implications for the Lusi mud volcano, Indonesia

Piercement structures such as hydrothermal vent complexes, pockmarks, and mud volcanoes, are found in various geological settings but are often associated with faults or other fluid-focussing features. This article aims to investigate and understand the mechanisms responsible for the formation of piercement structures in sedimentary basins and the role of strike-slip faulting as a triggering mechanism for fluidization. For this purpose four different approaches were combined: fieldwork, analogue experiments, and math
