Petrophysical characterization of sandstone reservoirs through boreholes E-S3, E-S5 and F-AH4 using multivariate statistical techniques and seismic facies in the Central Bredasdorp Basin
Mosavel, Haajierah (University of the Western Cape, 2014)The thesis aims to determine the depositional environments, rock types and petrophysical characteristics of the reservoirs in Wells E-S3, E-S5 and F-AH4 of Area X in the Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South Africa. The three ... -
Petrophysical evaluation and characterization of sandstone reservoirs of the western Bredasdorp Basin, South Africa for well D-D1 and E-AP1
Maseko, Phindile Pearl (University of the Western Cape, 2016)The Bredasdorp Basin was formed consequent to extensional episodes during the initial stages of rifting in the Jurassic age. The basin acted as a local depocentre and was primarily infilled with late Jurassic and early ... -
Petrophysical evaluation of fracture sytems in coal bed methane (CBM) bearing coal seams in relation to geological setting,3 exploration blocks, Botswana
Ondela, Mvunyiswa (University of the Western Cape, 2014)This study is focused on the Coal Bed Methane resources of Botswana with specific reference to the Central Kalahari basin where prospect license blocks forming the focus of this study are located. The aim of this study is ... -
Petrophysical evaluation of sandstone reservoir of well E-AH1, E-BW1 and E-L1 Central Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South Africa
Magoba, Moses (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
Parker, Irfaan (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
Ile, Anthony (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
Lasisi, Ayodele Oluwatoyin (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
Uchechukwu, Ekwo Ernest (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 ... -
Reservoir Characterization of well A-F1, Block 1, Orange Basin, South Africa
Williams, Adrian (University of the Western Cape, 2018)The Orange basin is relatively underexplored with 1 well per every 4000km2 with only the Ububhesi gas field discovery. Block 1 is largely underexplored with only 3 wells drilled in the entire block and only well A?F1 inside ... -
Reservoir heterogeneity of the sandstone reservoirs within the Pletmos basin, block11a, offshore South Africa
Dominick, Nehemiah Eliezer (University of the Western Cape, 2014)This study is aimed at illustrating the reservoir heterogeneity in the BCII - BCI interval of the Ga-field, offshore South Africa. This was achieved by generating a conceptual static model as a predictive tool for the BCII ... -
Sedimentological re-interpretation of the early cretaceous oil reservoir in the Northern Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South Africa
Asiashu, Mudau (University of the Western Cape, 2015)This study was aimed at determining the sedimentary environment, its evolution and facies areal distribution of the Upper Shallow Marine (USM, Late Valanginian). The study was conducted in wells E-S1, F-AH4 and E-W1 in the ... -
Sedimentological re-interpretation of zone 3 (Upper Shallow Marine) of selected wells, Bredasdorp Basin (Offshore South Africa)
Magobiyane, Nqweneka Veronica (University of the Western Cape, 2014)The Bredasdorp Basin is located on the southern continental margin, off the coast of South Africa. It is mostly filled by marine Aptian to Maastrichtian deposits, overlaying pre-existing Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous ... -
The palaeo environment and depositional facies of the drift section of Block 3A/4A in the Orange Basin, West Coast Offshore South Africa
Tlomatsana, Letshela Latoya (University of the Western Cape, 2017)The Orange Basin is underexplored and has shown proven hydrocarbon reserves with the potential for further discoveries. This study is aimed at describing the depositional facies and palaeoenvironment of the drift section ...
