Westlake Sulphur Mines Salt Dome (CURRENTLY UNSTABLE)
ACTIVE CONCERN (2021-2024+): Westlake discovered pressure problems in its Sulphur Mines Salt Dome caverns (particularly Cavern 7) in 2021, causing oil seepage and seismic activity. Louisiana issued an emergency decree; LSU was commissioned to model how long brine/sulfide contamination would take to reach Chicot Aquifer public supply wells. Cavern instability ongoing through at least 2024. Westlake's Lake Charles South chlor-alkali complex is self-supplied from this dome.
