Self potential (SP) measurement in the geothermal field of Penantian and Airkelinsar Village, Pasemah Airkeruh District, Empat Lawang Regency, South Sumatra Province

Abstract

Geophysical study using Self Potential (SP) method have been applied in the Hot Springs area at Air Kelinsar and Penantian Vilage, Empat Lawang District, South Sumatera Province. The SP measurement has been conducted on two profiles, each profile has ~720 m length trending from northwest-southwest-east crossing the geothermal manifestations (i.e. hot springs) located at the Penantian village and in the Air Kelinsar village is about ~740 meters profile length. The results show that the SP anomaly at Penantian village have a variation of −123.1 mV up to 9.4 mV and the potential anomalies in the Air Kelinsar village is about −12.8 mV up to 66.8 mV.
