[ link to theadvocate.com] October 11, 2012... Marketable crude oil found on the sinkhole’s surface and in the salt cavern are virtually identical, providing indications that the cavern failure may have caused the sinkhole, as scientists have suspected since the slurry hole formed Aug. 3.
“The experts are continuing to refine their understanding of the cause, and the crude oil connection is a big step forward,” said Patrick Courreges, DNR spokesman, in an email statement.
Late Tuesday night in a separate statement, DNR Office of Conservation Commissioner Jim Welsh took note of the significance that the liquid hydrocarbons in the cavern and on the sinkhole are crude oil and not “diesel fuel,” as initially theorized.He said no underground sources in the dome contain enough diesel to account for what was found, but a formation containing both oil and gas could easily account for that amount.
The collapse, also known as sloughing off, halted work Tuesday, pulling down five trees and about 500 square feet of land.
