Abstract :
The aim of this work is to investigate the geophysical borehole logging of extreme Owa region (Delta State - Nigeria) with a view to determining the lithology of the area. The resistivity of the formation was carried out, using resistivity logs of short Normal (SN), long Normal (LN), and long lateral (LL). The results show that the interval between (0-12) m bears loose lateritic sand. The depth zone of (24-30) m, (30-49) m and (55-58) m consist of clay rich sandy stones, which is capable of bearing water. The intervals (110-116) m to (158-160) m shows whitish colour particles with light brown silty clay. Within the depth intervals of (62-78) m and (92-102) m with formation resistivities of maximum values up to 6500 (nm) and 6100 (nm) respectively. The interval (78-92) m with moderately low resistivity between (700 and 2400) m has moderate water bearing aquifer (clay sandy zone).
