Abstract
AT the Houston convention of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists held in March 1924, an attempt was made to give a comprehensive picture of American salt domes. Papers included descriptions of oilfields, theories as to their origin and a general summary of research carried out to that date. In 1926 these papers were published by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in the form of a symposium entitled “Geology of Salt Dome Oil Fields”.
