  "term": "Electrical double layer",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A structure that forms at the interface between a solid surface and an electrolyte solution, consisting of two parallel layers of charge. The first layer comprises ions adsorbed onto the solid surface, while the second layer consists of counter-ions in the fluid that neutralize the surface charge. This phenomenon influences the electrochemical properties of shales and clays, affecting resistivity measurements in well logging.",
