Evenin' all,

Sounds like the makings of a good bitching contest, erm, scientific
debate. As reported by the BBC:

I think this has been discussed here before. Any one who has done
seismic interpretation off the US gulf coast should recognize this feature
as
salt dome related. I looked at numerous 2d sections
of the area sometime back that someone had posted on a site however I now
have no idea where they were found. There are numerous drill holes in the
area. I believe that these also point to salt movement. It would be
uncommon
however for a well to be drilled on this low instead of the associated high
but maybe they do things different in the North Sea.
