Salt Cavern Solution Mining
Brine has been produced commercially using the solution mining process for more than 100 years.
Brine has been produced commercially using the solution mining process for more than 100 years. After a well is drilled into the salt dome, fresh water is pumped down the well. This water dissolves the underground salt until it becomes a fully saturated brine solution, which is collected at the surface.
