Abstract
This brief article will discuss laboratory measurements of the streaming potential properties of rocks. Emphasis will be placed on: (1) those aspects of the experiment and associated theory that may give rise to problems, suggesting possible remedies, and (2) future areas/directions in which laboratory studies are needed.
