Preliminary study of the present and possible future oil and gas development of areas immediately surrounding the interior salt domes upper Gulf Coast Salt Dome Basins of east Texas, north Louisiana, and Mississippi
Results are presented of a preliminary study of the present and possible future oil and gas development of the areas immediately surrounding the Interior Salt Domes of the Upper Gulf Coast Salt Dome Basins of East Texas, North Louisiana, and Mississippi. The study was conducted to investigate the present and possible future oil and gas development in the areas immediately surrounding certain salt domes of the Upper Gulf Coast Salt Dome Basins for the over-all purpose of locating those salt domes where such oil and gas development would not interfere with the possible storage of radioactive waste material in the core of the salt dome. Preliminary findings indicate that several of the salt domes in each of the three basins under study are hydrocarbon-barren and that the present and/or possible future oil and gas development on or in the areas immediately surrounding the salt domes should not interfere with the possible storage of radioactive waste material in the core of these salt domes.
