Application of geochemical characterization, multivariate statistics and geological modelling in assessment and prediction studies on selected coal and gold mine waste in South Africa
Abegunde, Oluseyi Blessed (University of the Western Cape, 2023)Over the years, South Africa has generated vast amounts of coal fly ash and gold slime tailings, constituting over 70% of the country's waste materials. These byproducts contain elevated levels of trace metals, posing a ... -
Geochemical evaluation of source rock potential and characterization of hydrocarbon occurrences in the Eastern Dahomey Basin, Nigeria
Mohammed, Saeed (University of Western Cape, 2020)Nigeria is endowed with significant oil sand and heavy oil reserves. These reserves are found within the Cretaceous Afowo Formation in the Eastern Dahomey Basin. The petroleum systems and quality of these reserves are ... -
Hydrocarbon potential of the Prince Albert Formation, Ecca Group in the main Karoo Basin, South Africa.
Mosavel, Haajierah (University of the Western Cape, 2020)This thesis focusses on the hydrocarbon potential of the Prince Albert Formation in terms of its shale gas potential. Unconventional gas production from hydrocarbon-rich shale formations, known as “shale gas”, is one of ... -
Investigation of the acoustic impedance variations of the upper shallow marine sandstone reservoirs in the Bredasdorp basin, offshore South Africa
Magoba, Moses (University of the Western Cape, 2019)Investigation of the acoustic impedance variations in the upper shallow marine sandstone reservoirs was extensively studied from 10 selected wells, namely: F-O1, F-O2, E-M4, E-CN1, E-G1, E-W1, F-A10, F-A11, F-A13, and F-L1 ... -
