  "term": "Laplace equation",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A second-order partial differential equation that describes potential fields, such as gravitational, magnetic, or electrostatic fields, in regions free of sources or sinks. In geophysics, it is applied to model steady-state fluid flow in porous media or to analyze potential field data for subsurface structures. Solutions to the Laplace equation are harmonic functions, which are smooth and continuous.",
