Habitat of Mud Volcanoes and Petroleum Seepage in Azerbaijan
More LessMud volcano is unique geological phenomenon localized within the boundaries of mobil belts. It is very important information source on age, composition of rocks not drilled in yet, as well as on fluids saturating them. In spite of a long history of study of this interestmg phenomenon, there are a lot of debatable problems of mud volcanism. They are stratigraphic location of the "roots" of volcanoes, their relation with folded complex of different age, deep faults, diapir folds, seismic activity: formation and eruption mechanism; the place and role of mud volcanism in the system of geotectonical, gashydro- and thermodynamical processes, forming, redistribution and destroying oil and gas pools, features of urineral and ore forming.

The Mud Volcanoes Tectonic Setting and Associated Hydrocarbon Migrations - New Insight from Barbados, Trinidad and Sicily
Authors E. Deville, N. Ellouz, J-P. Herbin, J-P. Houzay and A. PrinzhoferIn convergent margins, tectonic wedges (especially thick - accretionary prisms) are frequently affected by shale diapirism and mud extrusion processes which influence both the structural evolution and the fluid dynamics within the tectonic wedge.

Mechanisms of Fluid Emissions - The Case Study of Regnano Mud Volcano
Authors R. Capozzi and V. PicottiThe seep of Regnano mud volcano, where mud is extruded in association with saline water and light hydrocarbons, is located at the surface emergence of a normal fault making part of art extensional system active after the arly Pleistocene. Chemical analysis and geological setting indicate that this system cuts previous chain thrusts and drains a Miocene reservoir which trapped deeper fluids migrated from the underlying Mesozoic units.

Were Gas Hydrates Associated with Miocene-Age Cold Seeps of the Apennines?
Authors R. Barbieri, P. Aharon, M. Taviani, F. Ricci-Lucchi and G. B. ValPresently there is an emerging interest in ocean based gas-hydrates (mixture of gas and water in ice form stable at high pressure and low temperature conditions) primarily related to concerns for global climate change and for future shortages in conventional fossil fuels (Kvenvolden, 1993).
