Some of these diapirs later get brought to the surface on our continents, and that is one place we can mine salt. But it also creates the BIGGEST oil and gas traps on the planet, because salt is completely impermeable, and hydrocarbons accumulate below it. (14)

In an alternate timeline, NASA would have developed an 'Advanced Hydrocarbon Engine' running on oxygen and RP1, delivering 5.5 MN of thrust at 332s Isp, and sized its future heavy 100-140t payload launcher accordingly:

The Advanced Concepts Office at NASA did consider a new oxygen-rich 5.56MN thrust 'New Hydrocarbon Engine' to power a heavy launcher to take 100+ tons to orbit, after the Constellation program was cancelled. Instead we got the SLS with old RS-25s.

Could galactic cosmic rays interact with RP-1 in an orbital propellant depot to create bubbles of lighter hydrocarbons, which could go on to vapour lock feed lines?
