The research was carried out in Rondonopolis city, Mato Grosso State, Brazil, to estimate the depth and thickness of geological formations occurring in the area, using vertical electrical sounding (VES). The results show that the maximum thickness of Ponta Grossa Formation is 63 m, and that the joint thickness of Furnas/Ponta Grossa transition and the Furnas Formation is greater to 700 m. The thickness of Furnas/Ponta Grossa transition could not be estimated due to lack of evidence in VES curves. It was observed a considerable litological variation in Furnas Formation. Geological data from wells used in the interpretation of VES allows greater reliability for the obtained results.
