many of the wells in west Texas and SE NM are drilled through salt that is several thousand feet above reservoirs. What do you think the chances of salt creep causing well failure in an abandonment scenario?

The reason i ask is because there are many wells drilled relatively close to the WIPP nuclear waste repository, e.g. within 1.5 miles. I dont think that's a failure scenario that they've anticipated. If they have I'd bet that shutting in wells within some radius of WIPP cost >> $20k.
