Provenance and depositional environments of early cretaceous sediments in the Bredasdorp Sub-basin, offshore South Africa: an integrated approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Southern offshore basins of South Africa are well known as potential provinces of hydrocarbon exploration and production. The complex nature of the Bredasdorp sub-basin’s syn-rift architecture (transform fault system) can ...
Foraminiferal biostratigraphic studies from Mesozoic succession of selected wells from the Orange Basin, western offshore, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Located on the western offshore on the Atlantic Ocean margin of Southern Africa, the Orange Basin is the youngest and largest of the South Africa’s seven sedimentary basins. This passive margin basin in known for its ...

Delineation of groundwater protection zone in a fractured rock aquifer setting: A case study of Rawsonville
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) is considering the implementation of an Aquifer Protection Strategy to protect the country’s critical groundwater resources. This study will assist in filling the knowledge gap ...
The influence of clay diagenesis on the petrophysical properties of sandstone reservoirs in the Pletmos Basin Offshore South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Pletmos Basin is a Mesozoic half graben located in the southern part of South Africa and has undergone numerous tectonic changes which involve alteration of structure and reworking of sediments. Clay diagenesis has become ...
Foraminiferal biostratigraphy and depositional environment of the early cretaceous drilled succession in Durban basin, east coast, South Africa
(South African Journal of Higher Education, 2020)
Durban Basin located on the eastern coast of South Africa has been a focus of interest for Petroleum Exploration for the last few decades. Only four exploratory wells have been drilled in this offshore basin without success. ...
Geochemical controls of platinum-group elements distribution patterns in the Patreef, bushveld complex, South Africa: a case study at Zwartfontein farm, Akanani prospect area
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The Platreef, is a contact-type pyroxenitic reef in the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex, enriched in platinum group elements (PGE) and base metal sulfides (BMS). Relatively subdued mining in the Platreef, compared ...
Assessing different coal combustion residue backfill scenarios in opencast coal mines, Mpumalanga, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Coal-fired power stations produce large volumes of coal combustion residues (CCRs), which
are disposed of in hold ponds or landfill sites. These ash storage facilities are limited in space
and are approaching the end of ...
