The last GCSSEPM Research Conference on Salt Tectonics was held in 1989, at a time when new concepts of salt tectonics were just beginning to be developed and the idea of widespread subsalt exploration in the US Gulf of Mexico remained the dream of a few maverick individuals. Since that time, several subsalt discoveries have been announced in the Gulf of Mexico, generating a flurry of leasing activity. Together with dramatic improvements in subsalt/salt flank seismic imaging and advances in understanding of salt movement, these discoveries have stimulated new, widespread interest in salt tectonics and its impact on sedimentation and petroleum distribution.
