The only insight I have to SPR is that my husband was an environmental engineer for SPR for a few years. I will ask him but doubt that's something he would know - but you know that the oil has been drawn down before - was salt an issue then? Also, a lot of oil is drilled *from* salt domes, the sea water leaches out the salt and leaves these natural domes underground that the oil seeps into, I think that's why they thought using the salt domes was a good idea. My husband is a chemical engineer, I will ask him whether salt will dissolve into unrefined petroleum, and get back to you. My guess is that the salt is impervious to oil, but maybe some brine gets mixed with the oil?
