Groundwater management model for the Spitskop area in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
The thesis investigates the potential of the Rietfontein and Spitskop aquifer to meet a demand of 1000 m3/d (12 Lis) as an alternative water resource for the Rietfontein and Spitskop Community. Increasing demand for clean ...
Application of fluid electrical conductivity logging for fractured rock aquifer characterisation at the University of the Western Cape's Franschhoek and Rawsonville research sites
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Characterisation of fractured rock aquifers is important when dealing with groundwater protection and management. Fractures are often good conduits for water and contaminants, leading to high flow velocities and the fast ...
Reservoir Characterization of well A-F1, Block 1, Orange Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The Orange basin is relatively underexplored with 1 well per every 4000km2 with only the
Ububhesi gas field discovery. Block 1 is largely underexplored with only 3 wells drilled in the
entire block and only well A?F1 inside ...
A Systematic Evaluation of Fault Seal Integrity in the southern Pletmos Basin, offshore South Africa: A 3D Multidisciplinary Modelling Approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
The syn-rift succession encompasses the primary exploration target in the southern
Pletmos Basin. Several fault-bounded structural traps that contain gas accumulations
have been discovered within this succession. Likewise, ...
Effects of clay minerals on the petrophysical properties of sandstone reservoirs from the Offshore Pletmos Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
With the latest advancements in the Pletmos Basin it is imperative to understand and study how sandstone reservoirs are affected by clay minerals. Clay minerals are an influential component in sandstone reservoirs worldwide ...
The effects of minerals on reservoir properties in block 3A and 2C, within the orange basin, South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The reservoir quality of the Orange Basin, offshore South Africa is known to be immensely impaired by the presence of authigenic minerals. The collective effects of burial, bioturbation, compaction and chemical reactions ...
Geomorphic analysis of river character and behaviour in three semi-arid, mountainous catchments in the Eastern Cape, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
The analysis of what controls why rivers are the way they are, and how and why they change is crucial in predicting river dynamics and deriving classification systems that can assist management. A variety of factors control ...
Geology, geochemistry and Sr-Nd isotope analysis of the Vredenburg Batholith and Cape Columbine Granites Paternoster/Vredenburg, South Africa: Implications on their petrogenesis, tectonic setting, and sources.
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The late- to post-collisional Cape Granite Suite (CGS) located in the southwest of South Africa is
comprised of S-, I-, and A-type granites, mafic intrusives, and volcanic flows. The CGS is interpreted
to have formed ...
The Influence of Contact Metasomatism and Fluid-Rock Interaction, on the Nature and Style of Platinum-Group Element Mineralisation in the Platreef, Northern Limb, South Africa: A Case Study from the Moordkopje Farm.
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
The complexity of the Platreef stratigraphy and the generic position of the Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation is a challenge to prospecting and mining companies in the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex, partially, as a result ...
Source Rock Analysis, Thermal Maturation and Hydrocarbon Generation Modelling within the Southern Pletmos Basin, Offshore of South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
This study is a first attempt that integrates source rock geochemical evaluation, with
analytic and numerical basin-modelling techniques to identify and ascertain the present-day
configuration, spatial distributions, ...
