Determination of total organic carbon content using Passey’s ΔLogR method in coals of the Central Kalahari Karoo Basin, Botswana.
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The Kalahari Karoo Basin is one of several basins in southern Africa filled with Late Carboniferous to Jurassic sediments that are primary targets for Permian aged coal. In order to determine the Coalbed Methane (CBM) ...
The use of chemostratigraphy and geochemical vectoring as an exploration tool for platinum group metals in the Platreef, Bushveld Igneous Complex, South Africa : a case study on the Tweefontein and Sandsloot farms
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The Platreef is known for its complexity and its heterogeneous lithologies, coupled with an unpredictable PGE and BMS mineralisation. The motivation behind this study was to aid mining geologists in targeting mineralisation ...
3-D Seismic structural interpretation : insights to thrust faulting and paleo-stress field distribution in the deep offshore Orange Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The Orange Basin provides exceptional 3-D structures of folds and faults generated during soft-sediment slumping and deformation which is progressive in nature. 3-D seismic and structural evaluation techniques have been ...
Assessing the relationship between youth capabilities and food security : a case study of a rainwater harvesting project
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The National Water Act of 1998 provides the policy framework for stakeholder participation and the engagement of stakeholders closest to the resource on which they depend to be involved in developing and managing their ...
Sedimentological re-interpretation of the early cretaceous oil reservoir in the Northern Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
This study was aimed at determining the sedimentary environment, its evolution and facies areal distribution of the Upper Shallow Marine (USM, Late Valanginian). The study was conducted in wells E-S1, F-AH4 and E-W1 in the ...
Petrophysical evaluation and characterization of sandstone reservoirs of the western Bredasdorp Basin, South Africa for well D-D1 and E-AP1
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The Bredasdorp Basin was formed consequent to extensional episodes during the initial stages of rifting in the Jurassic age. The basin acted as a local depocentre and was primarily infilled with late Jurassic and early ...
Investigating subsurface heterogeneities and its impact on the variation in interval velocities : implications to velocity modelling in the Bredasdorp basin
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Velocity modelling forms an integral part of the seismic interpretation process initially completed in two-way time. In order for a representative depth conversion, it is obligatory to construct a velocity model that serves ...
The effects of water transfer from Swakoppoort and Omatako Dams on the water quality of Von Bach Dam, Namibia
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
In the Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia, water is transferred from Swakoppoort and Omatako Dams into Von Bach Dam to limit evaporation losses and bring water closer to the purification plant. There is a gap in the knowledge ...
Determination of groundwater-surface water interaction, upper Berg River catchment, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The present study investigated the application of a multi-method approach to determine groundwater-surface water (GW-SW) interactions to quantify and characterize the quality of water resources in a fractured rock aquifer ...
Assessing groundwater-surface water interaction as a decision-making tool licensing water use South Africa : case study area of Gevonden farm
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Assessing groundwater-surface water interaction as a decision-making tool licensing water use South Africa: Case study area of Gevonden Farm is the title of the current study with the context that arises from the use of ...
