Knowledge of the petrophysical parameters of potentially reservoir levels remains a major concern in the study of sedimentry basins. In addition, numerous studies carried out in the offshore basin of Côte d'Ivoire have revealed reservoirs of the Cretaceous age. The present study is part of a perspective of petrophysical characterization of sandstone and sandy intervals of the Cretaceous of the Abidjan margin. To do this, two holes KN1 and KN2 located in the eastern part of the Abidjan margin were analyzed. Lithology reveals clay, sandstone, sand, limestone, marls and silts containing carbonaceous debris, glauconite and pyrite. The analysis of the petrophysical parameters made it possible to detect potential reservoirs of good quality with an average to good permeability at sandstones and sandy layers. These reservoirs contain fluids (water, oil and gas) in Campanian, Cenomanian and Albian.
