Effects of clay minerals on the petrophysical properties of sandstone reservoirs from the Offshore Pletmos Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
With the latest advancements in the Pletmos Basin it is imperative to understand and study how sandstone reservoirs are affected by clay minerals. Clay minerals are an influential component in sandstone reservoirs worldwide ...
The effects of minerals on reservoir properties in block 3A and 2C, within the orange basin, South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The reservoir quality of the Orange Basin, offshore South Africa is known to be immensely impaired by the presence of authigenic minerals. The collective effects of burial, bioturbation, compaction and chemical reactions ...
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 Paternoster/Vredenburg, South Africa: Implications on their petrogenesis, tectonic setting, and sources.
(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 ...
The Influence of Contact Metasomatism and Fluid-Rock Interaction, on the Nature and Style of Platinum-Group Element Mineralisation in the Platreef, Northern Limb, South Africa: A Case Study from the Moordkopje Farm.
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
The complexity of the Platreef stratigraphy and the generic position of the Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation is a challenge to prospecting and mining companies in the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex, partially, as a result ...
Source Rock Analysis, Thermal Maturation and Hydrocarbon Generation Modelling within the Southern Pletmos Basin, Offshore of South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
This study is a first attempt that integrates source rock geochemical evaluation, with
analytic and numerical basin-modelling techniques to identify and ascertain the present-day
configuration, spatial distributions, ...
Geochemistry of Gold One tailings and associated contaminant transport into the Randfontein area, Witwatersrand Basin.
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
The city of Randfontein, in the Witwatersrand, hosts several slimes and tailings storage facilities
which pose potential threat to the environment in the form of acid mine drainage (AMD). The
latter, readily scavenges toxic ...
Geochemical, Sedimentological and Mineralogical Study of Sediments along Coastal Areas of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE): Implications for Provenance, Depositional Environment, Heavy Minerals and Radiogenic Elements Contamination
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
This study describes sedimentological, geochemical and mineralogical results of
the beach sediments of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates in order to understand
the provenance, depositional environment and the level of ...
Assessment of the contributions of water allocation reforms to achieving equitable access to water by smallholder emerging farmers in the Breede-Gouritz catchment management agency
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The National Water Act of (1998) of South Africa has a goal of achieving equitable access to
water resources, as well as achieving environmental sustainability and efficient use of water.
Consequently, water resources ...
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 ...
