Abstract
Evidence suggests that amplitude anomalies within the natural salt dissolution front of the Hutchinson Salt member may indicate localized zones of dissolution that are potentially susceptible to subsidence or failure. The eastern depositional edge of the Hutchinson Salt member in southcentral Kansas, USA, was exposed to unsaturated groundwater during the late Tertiary. Leaching of the salt created a zone of self sustained dissolution that migrated westward approximately 30 km since that time. The current eastern edge is known as the natural dissolution front and is recognized as the most active zone of natural dissolution in the Hutchinson salt. Surface subsidence related to natural dissolution can cause damage to properties and infrastructure. Improved processing flows and interpretation of high resolution seismic reflection data can assist in mitigating the risks of surface subsidence.
