SIDOARJO - It is certainly not the first time that a new flow of mud occurs near the Lapindo mud flow in the district of Sidoarjo, East Java province. This time it is the residence of a local named Sudarmanto where the leak occurred. Based on information gathered, the new leak started from a drilled well around 06:00 local time yesterday. With a depth of 24 meters, the well started to produce gases mixed with water and mud.
In three years time - since the start of the "Lapindo mud flow", there have occurred some 139 of these mud eruptions. Normally gas pipes are directly connected to the well, not unlike this time. The gas is methane which can be used for cooking and it's for free as well. In another location, close to the residence of Sudarmanto, another well has also started to leak gas and mud. Residents are told not to light fire near the well, because this can cause a fire or explosion.
