Subjects: Engineering, Other Engineering
Salt dissolution occurs when evaporite-dominated rocks come into contact with NaCl-undersaturated fluids. Salt dissolution can positivity and negatively impact hydrocarbon and mineral exploration, seismic imaging, drilling, and structural restorations in salt-bearing sedimentary basins. However, due to typically poor seismic imaging and a lack of borehole data, few studies have analysed the [...]
