Petrophysical evaluation of sandstone reservoir of well E-AH1, E-BW1 and E-L1 Central Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)The Bredasdorp basin is a sub-basin of the greater Outeniqua basin. It is located off the south coast, Southeast of Cape Town, South Africa. This basin is one of the largest hydrocarbon (mainly gas) producing basins within ... -
Petrophysical evaluation of sandstone reservoirs of the Central Bredasdorp Basin, Block 9, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)This contribution engages in the evaluation of offshore sandstone reservoirs of the Central Bredasdorp basin, Block 9, South Africa using primarily petrophysical procedures. Four wells were selected for the basis of this ... -
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 ... -
Pore pressure prediction and direct hydrocarbon indicator: insight from the southern pletmos basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)An accurate prediction of pore pressure is an essential in reducing the risk involved in a well or field life cycle. This has formed an integral part of routine work for exploration, development and exploitation team in ... -
Pore pressure prediction: a case study of sandstone reservoirs, Bredasdorp basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)The Bredasdorp basin is situated off the south coast of the Republic of South Africa, southeast of Cape Town and west-south-west of Port Elizabeth. It covers approximately 18,000 sq. km beneath the Indian Ocean along the ... -
Porosity and permeability distribution in the deep marine play of the central Bredasdorp Basin, Block 9, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)This study described porosity and permeability distribution in the deep marine play of the central Bredasdorp Basin, Block 9, offshore South Africa using methods that include thin section petrography, X-ray diffraction, ... -

(University of the Western Cape, 2006)This study describes porosity and permeability distribution in the deep marine play of the central Bredasdorp Basin, Block 9, offshore South Africa using methods that include thin section petrography, X-ray diffraction, ... -
Preferential flow modelling in a vadose zone using macro 5.0 - Cape Flats porous sands and Mpumalanga highveld clays case studies
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)Understanding fluid flow and solute transport within the vadose (unsaturated) zone is an essential prerequisite for protection of groundwater from contaminant sources occurring overland. Preferential flow paths in the ... -
Preferential flow modelling in a vadose zone using macro 5.0 – Cape flats porous sands and Mpumalanga highveld clays case studies
(2008)The objectives of this study were: To review and understand flow and transport processes in unsaturated zones. In this study, particular emphasis is placed on understanding mechanisms that cause non-uniform (preferential) ... -
A preliminary understanding of deep groundwater flow in the Table Mountain group (TMG) aquifer system
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)The Table Mountain Group (TMG) Aquifer is the second largest aquifer system in South Africa, after dolomites. This aquifer has the potential to be a signinficant source of water for the people of the Western Cape. The ... -
The present-day frost action environment and its geomorphological significance in the Western Cape Mountains, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 1995)Studies on periglacial features in the Western Cape mountains provide a fragmented picture on the existence of both active and relict frost action in the region. As anywhere else in the country quantitative analysis and ... -
Protein phosphatase biosensor for the detection of cyanotoxins associated with algal bloom
(2013)The toxicity of microcystin is associated with the inhibition of serine/threonine protein phosphatases 1 and 2A, which can lead to hepatocyte necrosis and haemorrhage. Analysis of microcystin is most commonly carried out ... -
Provenance and depositional environments of early Cretaceous sediments in the Bredasdorp sub-basin, offshore South Africa: An integrated approach
