Comprehensive fluid saturation study for the Fula North field Muglad Basin, Sudan
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
This study has been conducted to accurately determine fluid saturation within Fula sub-basin reservoirs which is located at the Southern part of the Republic of Sudan.
The area is regarded as Shaly Sand Reservoirs. Four ...
The role of salt tectonics in the hydrocarbon potential of the post-salt deposits (albian to recent), offshore Gabon
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Following successful discovery and production of hydrocarbons, Gabon is one of the key hydrocarbon target countries in Africa. Located in the Lower Congo Basin, the study area is based in Etame Marin Permit (EMP), which ...
Case study of collective action of women in response to water and food insecurity in the Ehlanzeni district municipality, Mpumalanga province
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
The historical patterns of access to water and other areas of public service delivery in South
Africa predominantly favoured the white minority. There was inadequate distribution of
water where townships and rural areas ...
Regional structure of the Central Kalahari sub-basin and the geometry and effect of the dolerite sills in the area
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
The potential for Coal Bed Methane (CBM) has been assessed in the Karoo-aged coal seams in Eastern Botswana. This region is underlain by the Central Kalahari sub-basin of the Karoo Sequence and hosts a major thermal coal ...
Assessing hydrocarbon potential in cretaceous sediments in the Western Bredasdorp Sub-basin in the Outeniqua Basin South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The Bredasdorp Basin is one of the largest hydrocarbon producing blocks within Southern Africa. The E-M field is situated approximate 50 km west from the FA platform and was brought into commission due to the potential ...
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
(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 ...
Assessment of the effects of clay diagenesis on some petrophysical properties of lower cretaceous sandstones, block 3a, offshore orange basin South Africa
(2013)
Clay diagenesis phenomenon and their effects on some petrophysical properties of
lower cretaceous silliciclastic sandstones, offshore Orange basin have been
established. Previous studies on Orange basin revealed that ...
The use of chemostratigraphy and geochemical vectoring as an exploration tool for platinum group metals in the Platreef, Bushveld Igneous Complex, South Africa: a case study on the sandsloot & overysel farms
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
The paucity of geochemical criteria for stratigraphic correlations and defining the styles of mineralisation pose serious problems in locating PGE-rich zones in the Platreef. This study is therefore aimed at identifying ...
A spatial-temporal conceptualization of groundwater flow distribution in a granite fractured rock aquifer within the southern supersite research catchment of the Kruger National Park
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Understanding the hydrogeology of fractured or crystalline rocks is complicated because of complex structure and a porosity that is almost exclusively secondary.
These types of geologies exhibit strong heterogeneities and ...
Pore pressure prediction: a case study of sandstone reservoirs, Bredasdorp basin, South Africa
(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 ...
