Moss Bluff Salt Dome

The Moss Bluff dome was mined for sulphur by Texasgulf, then transformed into an underground storage dome, now used by Shell and Spectra Energy as the Moss Bluff Storage Field. One of three caverns here blew up in 2004, with flames shooting 200 feet into the air. There is also a hydrogen storage cavity, 1,900 feet tall, and 200 feet wide.
