Abstract

In the Gulf of Mexico, fault zones are linked with a complex and dynamic system of plumbing in the Earth's subsurface. Here we use time-lapse seismic-reflection imaging to reveal a pulse of fluid ascending rapidly inside one of these fault zones. Such intermittent fault ‘burping’ is likely to be an important factor in the migration of subsurface hydrocarbons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
