Geometry and geobody extraction of a submarine channel complex in the Sable Field, Bredasdorp Basin
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The Sable Field constitutes a Basin Floor Channel (BFC) complex (E-BD reservoir) and a Basin Floor Fan (BFF) complex (E-CE reservoir). The reservoir sands were deposited during early-drift sedimentation in the Bredasdorp ...
The petrophysical analysis and evaluation of hydrocarbon potential of sandstone units in the Bredasdorp Central Basin
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
This research was aimed at employing the broad use of petrophysical analysis and reservoir modelling techniques to explore the petroleum resources in the sandstone units of deep marine play in the Bredasdorp Basin.
The implications of Sr and Nd isotope data on the genesis of the Platreef and associated BMS and PGE mineralisation, Bushveld Igneous Complex, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The Platreef is a platinum group elements (PGE) deposit located in the Northern limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex (BIC). It is a series of mafic and ultramafic sills that are overlain by rocks from the Main Zone (MZ) ...
Petrophysical evaluation of the Albian Age gas bearing sandstone reservoirs of the O-M field, Orange Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Petrophysical evaluation of the Albian age gas bearing sandstone reservoirs of the O-M field, Offshore South Africa has been performed. The main goal of the thesis is to evaluate the reservoir potentials of the field through ...
Structural controls on groundwater flow in the Clanwilliam area
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Deformation of the western part of the Table Mountain Group rocks during the Cape Orogeny created a series of folds and associated fractures. The subsequent continental break-up of Gondwana led to the development of large ...
Groundwater occurrence of Table Mountain area in Cape Town, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Groundwater is an important water resource to be used to supplement the water demand for the City of Cape Town for present and future generations. Understanding the groundwater occurrence of the Table Mountain area is very ...

(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Deformation of the western part of the Table Mountain Group rocks during the Cape Orogeny created a series of folds and associated fractures. The subsequent continental break-up of Gondwana led to the development of large ...
Geomorphic analysis of river character and behaviour in three semi-arid, mountainous catchments in the Eastern Cape, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
The analysis of what controls why rivers are the way they are, and how and why they change is crucial in predicting river dynamics and deriving classification systems that can assist management. A variety of factors control ...
Geology, geochemistry and Sr-Nd isotope analysis of the Vredenburg batholith and Cape Columbine granites
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The late− to post−collisional Cape Granite Suite (CGS) located in the southwest of South Africa is
comprised of S−, I−, and A−type granites, mafic intrusives, and volcanic flows. The CGS is interpreted
to have formed ...
Geochemical and petrographic evidence for the Vredefort proximal impact ejecta in the Northern Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The advancement of the understanding of hypervelocity impacts lies in discovering impact
structures and both proximal and distal impact ejecta. This study uses petrographic and
geochemical techniques to investigate the ...
