The attempt to assess eruption energy of mud volcanoes and their recurrence had been done in the present paper. The eruption energy was determined through calculation of volume of breccia extruded on the Earth surface. Calculated values of eruptions energy classes K allowed us to study the correlation of number of eruptions on the values of their energy classes.
The linear character of recurrence graph that is in a good accordance with data obtained for magmatic volcanoes as for all the world and separate regions have been revealed. Values of maximum magnitude of eruptions calculated for periods of 100, 1000 and 10000 years have been determined.
