	<span lang=\"EN-US\">Electrical and geological methods are used to
conduct petrophysical study in Douala-Cameroon sedimentary basin along Yaounde-Douala
National road N</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">o. </span><span lang=\"EN-US\">3. Studies in this region are made of three outcrops, namely: Missol¨¨
II located on the sedimentary basin of Douala,</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-US\">Edea and</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-US\">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 <st1:place w:st=\"on\"><st1:placetype w:st=\"on\">basin</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st=\"on\">Douala</st1:placename></st1:place> 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.</span>
