Search Result for Potential
zeta potential
The electrokinetic potential of a particle as determined by its electrophoretic mobility. This electric potential cause colloidal particles to repel each other and stay in suspension.
spontaneous potential
One of the natural electrical characteristics exhibited by a formation as measured by a logging tool lowered into the wellbore. Also called self potential or SP.
streaming potential
The electrokinetic portion of the spontaneous potential electric-log curve that can be influenced significantly by the characteristics of the filtrate and mud cake or the drilling fluid that was used to drill the well.
SP
Abbreviation: spontaneous potential or self-potential.
self-potential (SP)
See spontaneous potential.
potential
The maximum volume of oil or gas that a well is capable of producing, calculated from well test data.
production test
A test of the well's producing potential usually done during the initial completion phase
potential test
A test of the maximum rate at which a well can produce oil.
formation testing
The gathering of pressure data and fluid samples from a formation to determine its production potential before choosing a completion method. Testing tools include formation testers and drill stem test tools.
