Quoting my own link:
Quote:
The economic value of salt domes has been exploited for centuries.[6] Salt mining has been going on in Louisiana since the Antebellum period, and in the 20th century, the government began using these underground salt caverns as storage reservoirs for crude oil.[7] Where there is a juncture of mining, petroleum engineering, and drilling, care must be taken to maintain stability, so as to prevent a disaster as happened at Lake Peigneur.
Carbonic acid injected into oil fields will not be as recoverable as when injected into a salt dome.

It seems to me turning it into limestone is preferable.
