Integrated approach to solving reservoir problems and evaluations using sequence stratigraphy, geological structures and diagenesis in Orange Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Sandstone and shale samples were selected within the systems tracts for laboratory analyses. The sidewall and core samples were subjected to petrographic thin section analysis, mineralogical analyses which include x-ray ...
Groundwater resource evaluation and protection in the Cape Flats, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The analysis of geologic, hydrologic and hydrogeologic data interpreted to give the characteristics of the Cape Flats aquifer showed the quality of groundwater from the aquifer is suitable for development as a water resource. ...
An analysis of sustainability of communally-managed rural water supply systems in Zimbabwe
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Sustainability of rural water supply systems is a major development challenge in most
developing countries including Zimbabwe. This thesis aimed to analyse the sustainability of
communally managed rural water supply systems ...
A comparative analysis of long-term variations of temperature and rainfall in rural and urban areas, and their effects on the estimation of design storms in Kenya
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
My Thesis aimed at expanding the current knowledge on how variations of temperature
characteristics including the possible existence of urban heat islands (UHI) over urban areas
of Kenya could be influencing rainfall ...
Petrophysical evaluation of the Albian Age gas bearing sandstone reservoirs of the O-M field, Orange Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Petrophysical evaluation of the Albian age gas bearing sandstone reservoirs of the O-M field, Offshore South Africa has been performed. The main goal of the thesis is to evaluate the reservoir potentials of the field through ...
Geochemical and mineralogical evaluation of toxic contaminants mobility in weathered coal fly ash: as a case study, Tutuka dump site, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The management and disposal of huge volumes of coal combustion by products such as fly ash has constituted a major challenge to the environment. In most cases due to the inadequate alternative use of coal fly ash, the ...
Integrated approach to solving reservoir problems and evaluations using Sequence Stratigraphy, Geological Structures and Diagenesis in Orange Basin, South Africa"
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The use of integrated approach to evaluate reservoir rock quality and source rock potential is becoming increasingly important in petroleum geology. This approach was employed to unravel the reason for variable reservoir ...
