self-potential sonde
self-potential sonde (spontaneous potential sonde, SP sonde) A well-logging instrumental package that measures the electrochemical activity of the rocks within a borehole. Formations yielding a high and true SP log response include clay-rich sediments and sulphide minerals. The SP method cannot be used for logging wells in offshore areas, where saltwater-based drilling muds are used.
