Are the salt caverns that “tight” to hold oil?

Well, it came out of the ground in the first place, no?

So salt domes have held oil for millions of years without human intervention until now?

My understanding is that one thing petroleum geologists ‘looked for’ when exploring for oil was the presence of salt formations... Because oil pooled there and could not sink through the salt layer. Stands to reason that if you are putting oil back into the ground for a ‘rainy day’ that you’d select a large salt formation and kind of reverse the extraction process.
