Using geostatistical-hydrogeological approach to develop groundwater monitoring system in South Western Karoo, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Groundwater in the South Western Karoo plays a vital role in the overall water supply in the
region. However, this resource is vulnerable to impacts from anthropogenic and natural
activities. Mitigating the impacts on ...
Hydrogeophysical characterisation of shallow coastal aquifers in the Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Coastal aquifers present a key groundwater resource for freshwater supply in many
coastal zones of Africa, and its availability is largely driven by the physical
hydrogeological properties. An understanding of the aquifer ...
Assessing Rural domestic water demand and use for local groundwater governance during drought, Halambani area, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Groundwater demand (abstraction) and use during drought continues to be a vital aspect in
rural areas. However, the lack of systematic data to assess the availability, demand and use of
such resource in addition to lack ...
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. ...
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 ...
A Systematic Evaluation of Fault Seal Integrity in the southern Pletmos Basin, offshore South Africa: A 3D Multidisciplinary Modelling Approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
The syn-rift succession encompasses the primary exploration target in the southern
Pletmos Basin. Several fault-bounded structural traps that contain gas accumulations
have been discovered within this succession. Likewise, ...
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 ...
