The ecohydrology of the Franschoek Trust Wetland: water, soils and vegetation
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The research was driven by a need to increase the knowledge base concerning wetland ecological responses, as well as to identify and evaluate the factors driving the functioning of the Franschhoek Trust Wetland. An ...
Petrophysical characterization of sandstones, integrated with core sedimentology and laboratory analysis in the central part of Bredasdorp basin, Block 9, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
The area of concentration of this particular project is focused on the central part of the Bredasdorp Basin, block 9, offshore South Africa. Petrophysical evaluation of sandstone reservoirs of the F-0 tract offshore South ...
Land use practices and their impact on the water quality of the Upper Kuils River (Western Cape Province, South Africa)
(University of Western Cape, 2014)
The water quality in many Cape Town Rivers and streams is a major challenge. Kuils River is subject to multiple land use impacts from upstream to downstream because of rapid urbanization in its catchment area. The main ...
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 ...
The application of geophysical wireline logs for porosity and permeability characterisation of coal seams for coal bed methane evaluation : Waterberg Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
The fracture porosity and permeability of the Beaufort Seam 1 (BS1) and Ecca coal seams of the Waterberg Basin have been comprehensively characterised with the aid of geophysical wire‐line logs. The main aim of the thesis ...
Geologic and geological assessment of Acid Mine Drainage and heavy metals contamination in the West Rand, Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Over the years, South Africa has produced over 468 million tons of mine waste yearly, in which gold mining waste accounted for 221 million tons (47%) of all mine waste produced, making it the largest, single source of waste ...
The use of remote sensing for soil moisture estimation using downscaling and soil water balance modelling in Malmesbury and the Riebeek Valley
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Soil moisture forms an integral part of the hydrological cycle and exerts considerable influence on hydrological processes at or near the earth’s surface. Knowledge of soil moisture is important for planning and decision-making ...
Basin Evaluation of Turonian Deposits in the Lower Congo Basin using outcrops, cores, well-logs and seismic
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
This manuscript presents a review of the Turonian series of the Congolese Coastal Basin using
outcrop, core, well-logs and seismic data in order to provide a comprehensive model for the series
and increase the oil recovery. ...
Geochemical and Petrographic Characterization of the Transition Boundary between the MG2 package to MG3 package at Dwarsrivier Chrome Mine, Bushveld Complex, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
This study area is situated within the Eastern Bushveld complex at Dwarsrivier chrome mine, which is approximately 30 km from Steelpoort and 60km from Lydenburg in the Mpumalanga province. The primary aim of the project ...
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 ...
