The purpose of this study is to assess the petrophysical potential of this Inkisi geological formation. By analyzing key parameters such as porosity and permeability, it provides a better understanding of the geological dynamics of the region. This study also aims to identify areas likely to yield natural resources, particularly hydrocarbons, in order to guide future research and exploitation. This assessment therefore contributes to a better understanding of the physical properties of the formation and its potential economic value.
