This document discusses spontaneous potential (SP), a geophysical method used to detect subsurface features. SP works by measuring natural electrical potentials in the ground created by electrochemical interactions and fluid flow. The measurements can help locate hydrocarbon and mineral deposits, faults, fractures, and changes in lithology. However, SP may be impacted by near-surface conditions and requires careful interpretation.
