The application of geophysical wireline logs for porosity and permeability characterisation of coal seams for coal bed methane evaluation : Waterberg Basin, South Africa
Nimuno Teumahji, Achu (University of the Western Cape, 2012)The fracture porosity and permeability of the Beaufort Seam 1 (BS1) and Ecca coal seams of the Waterberg Basin have been comprehensively characterised with the aid of geophysical wire‐line logs. The main aim of the thesis ... -
Characterization of joints in the Keimoes suite with respect to Namaqua deformation events
Mokoena, Portia Leah (University of the Western Cape, 2013)The Keimoes Suite is a group of poorly defined granitoids that characterize the Namaqua Front and Foreland zones. There is a lack of knowledge on its content and distribution. A significant amount of work has been done on ... -
The lithogeochemical characterization of the Hondekloof nickel mineralization, Kliprand area, Garies Terrane, Namaqualand, South Africa
Bokana, Reddy Ngili (University of the Western Cape, 2015)A magmatic Ni-Cu (±Co-Zn) sulphide deposit, named the Hondekloof prospect, is present in the Kliprand area at the border between the Northern Cape and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa. The deposit occurs in the central ... -
Numerical analysis of finite strain in the warm zand structure
Saffou, Eric (University of the Western Cape, 2014)This research project had two different parts: The first was about the mapping of a section of the Warm Zand Structure and the collection of strain data. The second part focused on the analysis of the finite strain and ... -
Petrophysical characterization of sandstones, integrated with core sedimentology and laboratory analysis in the central part of Bredasdorp basin, Block 9, offshore South Africa
Prinsloo, Roxzanne Gladys (University of the Western Cape, 2014)The area of concentration of this particular project is focused on the central part of the Bredasdorp Basin, block 9, offshore South Africa. Petrophysical evaluation of sandstone reservoirs of the F-0 tract offshore South ... -
Petrophysics and fluid mechanics of selected wells in Bredasdorp Basin South Africa
Ile, Anthony (2013)Pressure drop within a field can be attributed to several factors. Pressure drop occurs when fractional forces cause resistance to flowing fluid through a porous medium. In this thesis, the sciences of petrophysics and ... -
Pore pressure prediction and direct hydrocarbon indicator: insight from the southern pletmos basin, offshore South Africa
Lasisi, Ayodele Oluwatoyin (University of the Western Cape, 2014)An accurate prediction of pore pressure is an essential in reducing the risk involved in a well or field life cycle. This has formed an integral part of routine work for exploration, development and exploitation team in ... -
Sedimentological re-interpretation of zone 3 (Upper Shallow Marine) of selected wells, Bredasdorp Basin (Offshore South Africa)
Magobiyane, Nqweneka Veronica (University of the Western Cape, 2014)The Bredasdorp Basin is located on the southern continental margin, off the coast of South Africa. It is mostly filled by marine Aptian to Maastrichtian deposits, overlaying pre-existing Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous ... -
Seismic interpretation and 2D restoration of F-A gas field, Bredasdorp Basin south coast of South Africa
Ngejane, Zamazulu (University of the Western Cape, 2014)Seismic interpretation is always somewhat an uncertainty and questions on whether the horizons picked are properly correlated across faults and or the structures mapped are geologically or geometrically sensible always ... -
A study into the main structural features of the Namaqua region and their relation to the intrusion of the Keimoes Suite
Sithole, Nompumelelo (2013)The thesis provides a study into the main structural features of the Namaqua Region and their relation to the intrusion of the Keimoes Suite. This was achieved by producing a digitized map of the Namaqua Region structural ...
