Episodic, compression-driven fluid venting in layered sedimentary basins
Fluid venting phenomena are prevalent in sedimentary basins globally. Offshore, these localized fluid-expulsion events are archived in the geologic record by the resulting pockmarks at the sea-floor. Venting is widely interpreted to occur via hydraulic fracturing, which requires near-lithostatic por...
