Previous studies indicates that the Paleocene-Eocene represented by the N’kapa formation in Douala onshore basin,
has been a target for water supply. However, the hydrogeological research work highlights in this formation important
heterogeneity linked to the nature and the geometry of the sedimentary bodies constituted the aquifer system. Taking
into account the state of alteration of existing outcrops, this study aims to reconstruct a sedimentological model
during the Paleocene-Eocene, using on integration of Gamma Ray (GR) well logs with outcrops data. The research
methodology involved sedimentary facies described in outcrops, delineation of lithologies and identification of
electrofacies corresponding to depositional environments, from GR reponses. The results obtained from this study
show that the lithofacies is dominated by clays, silts and sands/sands.. View More»
