Assessing potable groundwater in coastal terrain is often a daunting task due to the peculiarities of the environment. In this paper, two vertical electrical sounding (VES) were obtained using Petro-Zenith resistivity meter (PZRM) with Schlumbeger configuration to delineate a potential/viable aquifer layer for potable groundwater exploitation in Fe...

Electrical resistivity is a fundamental parameter of metals or electrical conductors. Since resistivity is a function of temperature, in order to completely understand the behavior of metals, a temperature dependent theoretical model is needed. A model based on physics principles has recently been developed to obtain an equation that relates electr...

Electrical resistivity is an important physical property of concrete, directly related to the chloride-induced corrosion process. This paper analyses the surface resistivity (SR) and bulk resistivity (BR) of structural lightweight waste aggregate concrete (SLWAC). The studied concrete mixture contained waste material—red ceramics fine aggregate and...

... Estimation of rock types based on actual type resistance can be done well if there is a good knowledge of local geology (Okechukwu & Abanum, 2020). Each component in a rock layer has different electrical properties, and the determination of the amount of resistance of a rock type depends on a number of factors, including water content, porosity of rocks, solubility of salts in water and rocks, and temperature. ...

This research aims to optimize the damping factor so that the results of Geoelectric data inversion are stable and in accordance with current geological conditions in Malalak Agam. This type of research is a descriptive research using secondary data in the form of pseudo-type resistance data and electrode spacing obtained from research in the field of Geoelectric exploration in the Department of Physics at Padang State University (UNP). This data is obtained from Geoelectric secondary data and location supporting data. The geoelectric data processing stage is carried out using Res2dinv software which is used to model in 2-D using least-square inversion. The results showed that based on the interpretation of the data, the suitable damping factors in Malalak Agam District, West Sumatra, were the initial damping factor (0.2 – 0.25) and the minimum damping factor (0.01 – 0.1) because on trajectory 2 At the third measurement point 160 meters from point 0 was dominated by limestone and sandstone rocks. The existence of Limestone acts as a slip field, and there is Sandstone right above it which causes large-scale landslides from the first to fifth measurement points (315-160 meters from point 0) and on trajectory 3 at this time there is a landslide with a small volume, it is estimated that the avalanche is at the second measurement point 120 meters from point 0 with an avalanche thickness ranging from approximately 5 meters.

In this research work, a three-dimensional(3-D) seismic data from B-field, located in the Niger Delta, Nigeria has been interpreted with the aim of generating a structural model of the subsurface of the area with a view to reveal special features favorable to the hydrocarbon prospectivity of the study area. The 3-D seismic volume data was interpreted using OpendTect 4.3.0 software. Faults were delineated in field but only four was of interest F1, F2, F3, F4. The fault F3 is the major growth fault in the field. Its setting tips it as a good reservoir sealing structure. We have the faults F2 and F4 described as the antithetic faults. Fault F1 can be describe as normal fault. Two seismic reflection horizons H1 and H2 were mapped based on their reflection patterns. The seismic section reveals the structural configuration of the field as an anticlinal dip closure. Since anticlinal and fault assisted closures are regarded as good hydrocarbon prospect areas in the Niger Delta. It can be therefore suggested that the trapping potential of the field are attributed to faults, acting as fault assisted closures which have been perceived to be responsible for high retentive capacity of the reservoirs and the hydrocarbon trapping mechanism in the studied area.
