Investigating groundwater governance arrangements for unconventional gas exploration and production in main Karoo Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
South Africa relies on coal and imported crude oil for most of its energy. The
possible production of shale gas in the main Karoo Basin of South Africa provides
a potential opportunity to diversify the primary energy mix. ...
A comparison of black-oil versus compositional simulation methods for evaluating a rich gas-condensate reservoir
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Over time, researchers have endeavoured to use conventional black-oil (BO) models to
model volatile-oil and gas-condensate reservoirs as accurately as possible, with variable
levels of success. The black-oil approach ...
Improving estimation of precipitation and prediction of river flows in the Jonkershoek mountain catchment
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Rainfall is the main input into the land phase of the hydrological cycle which greatly determines
the available water resources. Accurate precipitation information is critical for mountain
catchments as they are the main ...
2D Geomechanical Model for an Offshore Gas Field in the Bredasdorp Basin, South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
This thesis provides a 2D geomechanical model for the K-R field, Bredasdorp Basin and
describes the workflow and process to do so. This study has a unique density correction
software applied to density data, prior to the ...
Reservoir Characterization using Genetic Inversion and Seismic attributes of Block 1 Orange Basin, Offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Block 1, Orange Basin is located offshore west coast South Africa. This study is focused on
providing a solution to performing reservoir characterization in areas where well data is
scanty by generating reservoir models ...
Burial history and source rocks characteristics of the montney formation, Alberta basin, Canada
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
More than 300 samples from the Montney Formations in the Alberta basin, offshore, Canada
have been analysed with locations in various parts of the Alberta basin. These samples were
mainly analyzed from two wells (well M28 ...
The geotectonic evolution of a portion of the Garies terrane, Kliprand, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The Kliprand dome is a poorly investigated structure located in the central part of the high grade
Garies Terrane of the western Namaqua Sector (NS) of the Namaqua-Natal Metamorphic Province
(NNMP). This structure is ...
The geochemistry, geochronology and petrogenetic characteristics of two granitic suites on the eastern margin of the Namaqua Sector, Namaqua-Natal Mobile Belt, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The group of granites on the eastern margin of the Mesoproterozoic Namaqua sector of the polydeformed and highly metamorphosed Namaqua-Natal Province of southern Africa is known as the Keimoes Suite. The suite includes ...
