Determining the socio-economic value of groundwater: Franschhoek case study
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The Western Cape, a province of South Africa is facing increased pressure to develop new supplies of fresh water to cater for the regions rapidly growing demand. Groundwater is being explored as a possible contributor to ...
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 ...
A national survey of mercury levels in South Africa's water management areas
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
This study forms part of a broader project co-funded by the Water Research Commission (WRC), and CSIR Parliamentary Grant (PG) and Strategic Research Panel (SRP) research grants, aimed at surveying selected water resources ...
Petrophysics and fluid mechanics of selected wells in Bredasdorp Basin South Africa
(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 ...
Integration of petrographic and petrophysical logs analyses to characterize and assess reservoir quality of the lower cretaceous sediments in the Orange basin, offshore south africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Commercial hydrocarbon production relies on porosity and permeability that defines the storage capacity and flow capacity of the resevoir. To assess these parameters, petrographic and petrophysical log analyses has been ...
Effects of clay minerals on the petrophysical properties of sandstone reservoirs from the Offshore Pletmos Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
With the latest advancements in the Pletmos Basin it is imperative to understand and study how sandstone reservoirs are affected by clay minerals. Clay minerals are an influential component in sandstone reservoirs worldwide ...
