Salt modeling

Salt modeling involves creating detailed computer simulations of subsurface salt formations, like salt domes, to understand their shape, size, and properties. These models help geologists and engineers assess potential locations for oil and gas extraction or underground storage, and predict how salt structures might move or change over time. Using seismic data and other geological information, salt modeling provides a virtual representation of complex salt formations, aiding in safe and efficient resource development while minimizing environmental and operational risks.
