ABSTRACT: Electrical and geological methods are used to
conduct petrophysical study in Douala-Cameroon sedimentary basin along Yaounde-Douala
National road No. 3. Studies in this region are made of three outcrops, namely: Missolè
II located on the sedimentary basin of Douala, Edea and Sikoum which
are outcrops of basement rocks that form the eastern boundary of the sedimentary
basin of Douala. This study reveals that the rocks of the sedimentary basin of Douala are mainly composed of sandstone and
clay. Both basement rocks of Edea and Sikoum are subjected to the same phases of
deformation. These phases of deformation give the quartzite a particular structure
that greatly influences the resistivity and density of these rocks and give it a
planar anisotropy.
