Episodic venting of extreme subsalt overpressure through a thick evaporitic seal

Episodic venting from deep overpressured layers has rarely been documented in sedimentary basins, so the pressure evolution leading to these cyclical phenomena is poorly understood at present. Using three-dimensional (3D) seismic data from the West Nile Deep Sea Fan, we interpret >480 fluid escap...
