Abstract
In recent years, the Society of Exploration Geophysicists has published case histories of many individual oil field structures. Of broader interest is the exploration history of a geological unit as a whole rather than its individual structures. The Mississippi salt basin, with its comparatively short period of intense geophysical activity, using modern methods, is an outstanding example of successful application of modern geophysical techniques to a large but limited geologic province. This paper reviews the history of the geophysical operations in the south Mississippi salt basin, including the nature of the exploration carried out by different companies and their results in terms of later findings by the drill. This paper would not have been possible without the cooperation of the various companies who have contributed the information assembled and grateful appreciation of their help is acknowledged.
