Each rock has different resistivity value, depending on the mineralogy, porosity and fluid content (Telford, 1994). Knowledge on mineralogy, porosity and fluid composition is very useful in rock resistivity interpretation, such as data obtained from geoelectric measurement. In Uso Village, District of Luwuk, Banggai Residence, Province of Sulawesi Tengah, a resistivity measurement, vertical electrical survey (VES) with Wenner method, has been conducted at 31 nodes with maximum span of 900 m. From the interpretation of apparent resistivity, near the shore line (AB line) there is low resistivity rock (0-10 ohm-m) which, based on regional geology, was interpreted as sandstone or conglomerate with saltwater or marl.. The low resistivity rock was checked with 100 m drilling of Exploration Well near GL-4. From cutting analysis and groundwater chemistry data, it was found that the low resistivity rocks (0-10 ohm-m) is neither sandstone or conglomerate with salt water nor marl, but intercalation of limestone and conglomeratic limestone with fresh water. Two sequences of limestone and conglomeratic limestone intercalation from the rock cutting analysis of Exploration Well show different resistivity responses. Limestone and conglomeratic limestone intercalation at 6,5-27 m (Sequence-A) has a rather high resistivity, according to a calculation using Barnes method (average of 38,51 ?.m); while limestone and conglomeratic limestone intercalation at 57,5-85,5 m (Sequence-B) has a low resistivity (average of 1,92 ohm-m). From the Barnes interpretation, lithology of the research area is dominated by nine sequences of limestone. Furthermore, stratigraphic relations of each sequence is not simple. Based on the lithologic log from both Pilot Well and Exploration Well, as well as the Barnes lithologic interpretation, aquifer type (confined or unconfined) in the research area is not clear. To obtain the aquifer type, an analysis on pumping test result has been conducted and the result shows that the aquifer type in the research area is unconfined aquifer.
