Abstract
The self potential is the natural electrical potential existing in the ground, a specific geological body or any other survey target. A natural potential difference exists between two points in the ground and can be as much as several volts or as little as a fraction of a millivolt. Every survey on naturally moist ground corresponds to surveying on an electrolyte.
