This study was conducted to understand the possible causes of abortive boreholes along
the New Estate in Covenant University. The conceptual model predicted the two groundwater
characteristics of weathered and the unweathered zones. The V-shape curve revealed two
groundwater anomalies with high and low curves. The peak anomaly indicates the higher resistivity,
presumed to be the geological structures of unsaturated features in the area. The sink V-shape curve
indicate an anomaly with groundwater features, presenting low resistivity values attributed to be
water bearing formation that will be viable for groundwater potential. The Iso-resistivity contour
map identified possible groundwater features. The first Iso-resistivity column is a region of aquitard
with a semipervious in nature that could transmit water in a slower rate. The second groundwater
feature in column 2 is a perch aquifer that could enhance the main aquifer due to interconnectivity
and pore pressure of downward-upward migration in confined hydrogeological aquifer setting.
Column 3 depicts a complete impermeable feature of aquifuge or aquiclude of subsurface structure
with rich in clay sediments or stratum of sediments found at the depth range of 30 m to 270 m. The
forth groundwater column indicates a promising water bearing formation, probably sandy in nature
with a depth range of 210 to 300 m and thickness of about 90 m. The spatial analysis identified the
two locations along the survey areas to be suitable for productive boreholes as well as the trending
of the groundwater in the area to be Northwestern Southeast direction. Consequently, the model
could be a guide to organize site data, understand site processes and screen for applicability of
drilling. These multiple methods of geophysical, spatial analysis and conceptual model could be
used a tool for mapping hydrocarbon bearing formation
