Assessing hydrocarbon potential in cretaceous sediments in the Western Bredasdorp Sub-basin in the Outeniqua Basin South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The Bredasdorp Basin is one of the largest hydrocarbon producing blocks within Southern Africa. The E-M field is situated approximate 50 km west from the FA platform and was brought into commission due to the potential ...
Rethinking groundwater governance in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Governance is essentially the process whereby organisations or networks of organisations exercise their authority. It describes how a body with authority makes or does not make decisions, and how it implements - or does ...
Electro sequence analysis and sequence stratigraphy of wells EM1, E-M3 and E-AB1 within the central Bredasdorp Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The study area for this thesis focuses on the central northern part of the Bredasdorp Basin of southern offshore South Africa, where the depositional environments of wells E-M1, E-M3 and E-AB1 were inferred through electro ...
Pseudo proximate analysis: method using wireline logs to estimate components of coal bearing rock matrix without control data
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Lab conducted proximate analysis of coal bearing rock units calculates the weight percentage of ash, moisture, fixed carbon and volatile matter through a series of combustion steps. The data obtained is quintessential in ...
Integrating 3D basin modelling concept to determine source rock maturation in the F-O Gas Field, Bredasdorp Basin (offshore South Africa)
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The burial history, thermal maturity and petroleum generation history of the F-O Gas Field, Bredasdorp Basin have been studied using 3D basin and petroleum systems modelling approach. The investigated sedimentary basin for ...
Geologic and geological assessment of Acid Mine Drainage and heavy metals contamination in the West Rand, Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Over the years, South Africa has produced over 468 million tons of mine waste yearly, in which gold mining waste accounted for 221 million tons (47%) of all mine waste produced, making it the largest, single source of waste ...
