Investigating the Timing of initial Louann Salt Flow and Its Relationship with the Gilbertown Fault Zone, Southwest Alabama
<p>The Mesozoic Louann Salt extends through the northern GOM, extending onshore from eastern Texas to western Alabama and Florida. Along the landward terminus of the salt is a system of peripheral faults, including the Gilbertown Fault Zone bordering the Mississippi Interior Salt Basin to the north …

Geochemical Characterization of the Louann Salt, Puma Field, Green Canyon, Gulf of Mexico Basin – Using XRF and XRD
<p>The Jurassic-aged Louann Salt is an evaporite sequence deposited in the Gulf of Mexico Basin (GOMB). It is an important component of the GOMB petroleum system and influences the facies pattern in overlying strata and the distribution of petroleum stratigraphic traps. The Louann Salt is composed …

IDENTIFYING SALT SUTURE ZONES AND LITHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF THE LOUANN SALT IN THE GULF OF MEXICO BASIN, LA. U.S.A.
<p>The Louann Salt, a key evaporite unit in the Gulf of Mexico Basin, influences salt tectonics, hydrocarbon migration, and basin evolution. This study examines Louann Salt deposition and deformation within the Puma Diapir, focusing on mineralogical, geochemical, and structural features of suture …

STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PUMA DIAPIR, GULF OF MEXICO BASIN
… GOM basin we see today, coupled with Jurassic Louann Salt deposits precipitated throughout the basin. The subsequent increasing sedimentary load created complex gravity-induced tectonic structures, resulting in various salt stocks and canopies forming in the Louann Salt. This research aims to …

Detailed Structural and Stratigraphic Analysis of the Salt-Sediment Interactions on Top of the Wheeler Dome Salt Tongue, Mississippi Canyon Area, Gulf of Mexico
… In this area, there are many different salt structures present including salt canopies, diapirs, and salt pillows. The Callovian aged Louann Salt covers this area and is the cause of many of the salt structures and structures of the overlying formations seen in Gulf of Mexico today. Salt …

Geochemical Evidence for Vertical Migration of Deep Formation Fluids through the Baton Rouge -Denham Springs Fault System
… Deep formation fluids have interacted with Louann Salt diapirs underlying the BRAS area, dissolving halite, and are shown to have moved up fault planes and entered shallow aquifers to mix with the <em>in situ</em> groundwaters.</p>

Reconstructing lithofacies of the Norphlet Formation (Jurassic) as potential exploration targets: Little Cedar Creek and Brooklyn Fields, southwest Alabama
… and structures resulting from movement of the Louann Salt. Erosion of the ancestral Appalachian Mountains resulted in the deposition of four main lithofacies: basal shales, conglomerates and conglomeratic sandstones, the Denkman Sandstone member, and a redbed succession. Additionally, the …

Three-dimensional modeling of complex salt wall terminations in the Paradox Basin: implications for salt structure evolution, compartmentalizing fault trends and petroleum exploration
… Colorado, is a stunning geologic area for salt tectonics research. Characterized by the halite-rich Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation, this region provides pristine examples of the many structural and stratigraphic relationships associated with evolving salt structures. Formed during the …
