Abstract:
The Agu Abor fault is a prominent growth fault that provides insights on the
processes of clay smearing at the fault zone. The properties of the sheared
zone in the Cretaceous Enugu Shale were investigated to evaluate the
dimensions of the fault, by the use
is a cheaper method when compa
study. The methodology used for evaruaang tnese possltmtles Involves tne
resistivity mapping and concepts of tension and extension created at the
shear zone. By theses combinations, details of the fault geometry were
developed. Eight Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) were carried out at
stations 1- 8; along a NE-SW strike direction, covering a land mass of about
250m2. The sounding curves interpretations indicated mostly three-five layer
geoelectric sections. Interbedded shales, siltstones, and sandstone
