This paper summarizes an ongoing research project on the Delaware Basin studying interrelationships between oil-gas, sulfur deposits, Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) ores, and cave genesis. Such an integrated approach was taken by Hill (1987), who suggested that basinal H2S - generated by oil-anhydrite reactions at the Castile-Bell Canyon contact - was the ultimate source for the sulfuric-acid speleogenesis of Guadalupe caves and for MVT ores in carbonate rock along the margins of the basin.
