SMRI Members - Who are we?SMRI member organizations are involved in all aspects of solution mining or the use of salt caverns for gas or hydrocarbon storage, from production of brine to environmental and safety regulations. Employees of member organizations receive full member benefits, so those individuals are also referred to as ‘members’ even though the membership is corporate. The members have full use of our library, reduced conference registration fees, and have access to SMRI software at no cost.
Types of organizations who are members of SMRI:
Individuals work in these positions, as examples of some members' individuals: university professors and researchers, mining engineers and geologists, drilling experts, managers of gas storage and distribution networks, cavern designers and structural modeling specialists, salt, potash, and trona producers, government regulators, cavern surveyors, chemical engineers, consulting engineers, government managers of resources or facilities, geophysicists mapping mineral deposits, and we give university students opportunities to participate in our conferences.
