A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2016 / The Mesoproterozoic Pilanesberg Complex, South Africa, is the world’s largest alkaline intrusive complex. Mapped geological field relationships suggest the Complex has circular inward dipping layers. However, it is unclear how the dipping layers extend at depth. As a result, the 3D geometry of the Pilanesberg Complex is unknown. Modelling of the Pilanesberg Complex uses 2D forward models as well as 3D forward and inversion, gravity and magnetic data models, to set limits on the 3D geometry of the Pilanesberg Complex. The 2D Bouguer gravity models and geology maps indicate that some of the Bushveld Complex Main Zone shifted to the west of the Pilanesberg Complex during emplacement. This, and a highly faulted country rock, accounts for a portion of how the host rock was able to accommodate the Pilanesberg Complex intrusion. The geometry of the Complex is explored with test gravity models where the model of outward dipping and vertically dipping cylinders are unable to match the Bouguer gravity signal over the Complex, but the inward dipping model matched the data to provide a possible solution for the geometry of the Complex. The Pilanesberg Complex geometry is modelled with 3D magnetic inversion, 3D forward gravity models and 2.5D gravity test profiles that were all constrained by the surface geology. The different models correlate so that best data fit for the Complex is represented by an overall inward dipping structure. Surface geological measurements indicate that the northern edge of the Complex dip out to the north. The 3D forward modelling was able to produce a positive solution that matched the gravity data with a northward dipping northern edge. The dipping northern edge is also observed on the University of British Columbia, UBC, 3D gravity inversion and the Euler deconvolution gravity profile solutions. The depth of the Pilanesberg Complex from 3D forward gravity modelling is estimated to be between 5 and 6 km. The Complex is suggested to have undergone block movement where the northern block and southern block are separated by the 30 km long Vlakfontein fault, which bisects the Complex from the north-east to the south-west. The image processing contact depth, Euler deconvolution solutions and the 3D Voxi inversion model suggest that the fresh bedrock is closer to surface in the north, while the southern block appears to be approximately 1km deeper than the northern block. The northern dip and block movement are explained by complicated structural events that include trap door graben settling which hinged on the northern edge as well as faulting and external block movement during a regional lateral extensional event. The Pilanesberg Complex intruded during a larger system of alkaline intrusions, known as the Pilanesberg Alkaline Province. The intrusions are associated with the Province due to their ages and chemical affinity. This Province includes two dyke swarms that radiate to the north-west and south of the Pilanesberg Complex, as well as smaller circular clinopyroxenite intrusions throughout the Bushveld Complex. The Pilanesberg dyke system and the circular clinopyroxenite intrusions are reversely magnetised with IGRF corrected values ranging between -150 to -320 nT compared to the normally magnetised 166 to 330 nT values of the Pilanesberg Complex. This suggests that a magnetic reversal occurred between the emplacement of the Pilanesberg Complex and the dyke System. The age data of the Complex and dyke Swarm suggest a magnetic reversal could have occurred between the emplacement of the Pilanesberg Complex and the Pilanesberg dyke System. The Complex is dated at 1602 ± 38 Ma and 1583 ± 10 Ma, from two white foyaite samples from the southern edge (using 40Ar/39Ar amphibole spectrum analysis). These ages are vastly different from previously reported ages, which ranged between 1200 Ma and 1450 Ma (Harmer R., 1992; Hansen et al., 2006). The error analysis has improved considerably from the published dates making the proposed dates plausible for the intrusion of the Pilanesberg Complex as the first and main intrusion of the Pilanesberg Alkaline Province. The Pilanesberg dyke System intruded much later between 1219 ± 6 Ma to 1268 ± 10 Ma for the red syenite dyke samples (using 40Ar/39Ar on feldspars spectrum analysis) and 1139 ± 18 Ma obtained for the grey syenite dyke (using 40Ar/39Ar on amphiboles inverse isochronal analysis). The dyke Swarm dates are significantly younger than the previously published ages for the dykes, which were between 1290 Ma and 1330 Ma (Van Niekerk, 1962; Emerman, 1991). / LG2017

A princípio, o estudo visa estabelecer uma rotina de análises qualitativas para os dados litológicos extraídos dos testemunhos e associados aos perfis, por meio de ferramentas estatísticas básicas, com o objetivo de identificar agrupamentos de classes litológicas e caracterizar as eletrofácies presentes no intervalo testemunhado. Numa segunda etapa, aplica-se a técnica estatística multivariada da Análise de Agrupamentos em dois passos, a qual gera agrupamentos (eletrofácies) por meio da associação dos dados dos perfis com as classes litológicas descritas nos testemunhos. Numa terceira etapa, esses agrupamentos são avaliados quantitativamente por intermédio de ferramentas estatísticas, as quais incluem a Análise de Variância Simples (one way Anova), o Teste de Médias e a Análise Discriminante. Como exemplo de aplicação, utiliza-se um conjunto de dados que inclui perfis e descrições de testemunhos de três poços verticais do Campo Escola de Namorado, localizado na Bacia de Campos, no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Os resultados obtidos mostram um bom desempenho da Análise de Agrupamentos em dois passos para a caracterização de eletrofácies, e permitem que se obtenham informações acerca da qualidade da amostragem, no que se refere aos ajustes das mesmas com as profundidades de perfis, além de proporcionar agilidade ao processo de investigação exploratória de dados de perfis em relação às classes litológicas a estes associadas. / Abstract: This study is focused on the elaboration of a method for electrofacies characterization which uses well log data related to the lithological classes identified in the core samples of the wells, based upon qualitative approach and multivariate statistics analysis. The first step of this method involves the establishment of a qualitative approach routine which includes the analysis of a package of well log data, which are extracted from the cored intervals, using basic statistics tools (histograms and cross plots) and aiming to delineate and characterize electrofacies. The second step involves the utilization of a classical multivariate technique called Two Steps Cluster Analysis, which generates clusters (electrofacies) based upon the association between well log data and the lithological classes identified from the core samples. The details of the Cluster Analysis technique are showed during the development of this study. During the third step of proposed method, all the clusters generated in the previous steps are quantitatively evaluated by ordinary statistical tools, which include one-way Anova, Test of Means and Discriminant Analysis. As an example of application of this method it is used a complete package of data which includes well logs and macroscope reports of three sets of core samples, extracted from three vertical wells, located in the producing Oil Field of Namorado, in the Campos Basin, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. The results of the statistical tests show a good performance for the Two Steps Cluster Analysis tool in characterizing electrofacies. Furthermore, all the statistical tests applied in this study allow the researcher to obtain information about the quality of the sampling process and the accuracy related to the correlation between the sampling and the logging depth, speeding-up the process of the exploratory investigation by using well log data and associated to the lithological classes present in the cored intervals of the oil wells. / Doutorado / Reservatórios e Gestão / Doutor em Ciências e Engenharia de Petróleo

Velocity anisotropy is present at a point in a medium if the seismic velocity in one direction in general differs from that in another direction. The problems associated with the determination of subsurface velocity in anisotropic media by the use of surface seismic reflection data are analyzed. Previous studies of anisotropy in exploration seismology required bore-hole data as well as surface data to detect the presence of velocity anisotropy. Three special types of wave propagation are of interest in reflection seismology, in addition to the general case. The theory of isotropic media is commonly utilized in exploration seismology. Elliptical anisotropy has been the method for handling anisotropic media in the past. The theory of transversely isotropic media is studied in detail since this is a reasonable anisotropy model for exploration use. Layered periodic isotropic structures are considered because of the relationships between the elastic coefficients that yield transverse isotropy in the limiting case for which the isotropic lavers are thin in comparison to the wavelength of a propagating disturbance. Synthetic common-depth-point reflection seismic traces were generated for a uniformly anisotropic halfspace, a model with seismic velocity increasing linearly with depth, velocity increasing stepwise with depth, a buried anisotropic interval in an otherwise isotropic section, and models characterized by the dip varying continuously with depth. Correlation methods (velocity analysis) are developed for the determination of rms velocity vs. two-way reflection time for both isotropic and anisotropic (transversely isotropic) media. These methods are applied to the models discussed above for varying amounts of anisotropy for each model. When the surfaces defined by the velocity analysis correlation matrices are integrated to determine the volume under the surface, it is possible to determine within about one percent the degree of anisotropy in a uniformly anisotropic medium. In a medium of varying anisotropy, it does not appear possible to obtain the same degree of accuracy as for the uniform case. Two isotropic dipping layer models were studied to determine the effects of dip on velocity analysis. The effects of dip are such that the analysis methods yield erroneous results for dips in excess of about 10-12 degrees for the models studied. Random noise degrades the velocity analysis (i.e., the magnitudes of the correlation peaks), but does not affect the accuracy of the results. Lateral velocity gradients appear to have no discernible effects on a velocity analysis for the models studied. Results of this study indicate that the compressional wave data normally used in reflection seismic work may not be useful for the detection of velocity anisotropy. Shear wave (SV) data, on the other hand, are ideally suited to this purpose. Hmvever, the necessity of shear wave data for the detection of anisotropy may limit these methods strictly to land use. This study indicates that the probability of detecting anisotropy by using surface methods is sufficiently high to warrant field testing. / Ph. D.

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2016. / The Jacomynspan Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation is hosted within a 100m thick steeply dipping tabular, differentiated, sill of mafic to ultramafic composition intruded into country gneissic rocks of the Namaqualand Metamorphic complex. This sill is predominantly composed of tremolite schist (metamorphosed pyroxenite) containing lenticular bodies of harzburgite. The harzburgite generally hosts net-textured mineralisation with up to 50% by volume of the rock. Massive sulphide veins and stringers are occasionally present within the harzburgite. The sulphide minerals are a typical magmatic assemblage of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite. The sill covers an approximate strike length of about 5km but only a small portion covering 1km x 1km was selected for this study. Physical property studies carried out on the drill core (magnetic susceptibility and conductivity) indicate that the country gneissic rocks are not conductive and neither are they magnetically susceptible. However, the mineralized sill has elevated values of both magnetic susceptibility and relative conductivity compared to its host making it a suitable target for both magnetic and electromagnetic inversion. Drilling done so far on the study area has shown that the well-mineralised harzburgite (hosted within the poorly mineralised ultramafic sill) is not a continuous body but occurs in ‘pockets’. There is therefore need to use the available geophysical and geological datasets to derive a model of these well mineralised pods. This study is therefore intended to assess the feasibility of using electromagnetic (EM) methods together with other geophysical methods and geology in obtaining a model of the harzburgite pods hosted within the less conductive poorly mineralised ultramafic sill in order to guide further drilling. Geosoft’s VOXI Earth Modelling software was used to model the high resolution airborne magnetic data for this study. Cooper’s Mag2dc (www.wits.ac.za) and Stettler’s Magmodintrp software (personal communication, 2015) was also used during modelling of the magnetic data to compliment the modelling from VOXI. The mineralised ultramafic sill was clearly mapped in both the 3D model representation from Mag2dc modelling and VOXI’s 3D unconstrained smooth model inversion for the study area. Based on the physical properties studies carried out on the study area, EM data (both ground and downhole EM) were modelled using Maxwell software. The poorly mineralised tremolite schist was clearly modelled. In order to better constrain the targets, an assumption was made that at late decay times the currents would be focused in the centre of the large EM plate probably giving an indication of the most conductive part of the intrusion. Smaller ‘Resultant EM plates’ of dimensions, 300mx300m that coincide with the centre of the large EM plates (with a conductance above 100S) were constructed in iv Maxwell software and integrated with the DXF file of the Micromine geology model of the well mineralised harzburgite clearly mapping the well-mineralised harzburgite and showing its possible extensions. 2D inversion modelling was conducted on all audio-frequency magnetotelluric (AMT) data for this study area. The modelling results clearly mapped the mineralised intrusion.

Os levantamentos foram realizados em duas etapas. A primeira etapa foi o de reconhecimento de campo, realizado no período de 21 a 26 de setembro/2009 que é considerado um período menos chuvoso. Os pontos escolhidos foram denominados de Ponto Praia, Ponto Chácara, Ponto Lixão e Ponto Country Club. A segunda etapa consistiu na coleta de dados propriamente dita nos pontos Chácara, Lixão e Country Club; o ponto Praia foi excluído por estar próximo às grandes torres de transmissão de energia, fazendo com que houvesse interferência nos dados. No ponto Lixão foi verificada a existência de gás metano, na superfície, através das bolhas de ar nas poças de água, no Ponto Country se localizava próximo a dois brejos e um pequeno córrego, e por fim o Ponto Chácara se localizava próximo ao Rio Branco, onde foi possível perceber a influência do aquífero livre na coleta dos dados. O período da segunda etapa dos levantamentos de dados ocorreu entre setembro de 2010 e agosto de 2011. Os levantamentos resultaram em um perfil vertical central, dos pontos selecionados, onde foram encontrados os seguintes materiais: areia, sedimentos arenosos, areia argilosa, argila seca, dois tipos de aquífero (de água doce e de água salobra), além de solos saturados e não saturados, e lixo. Em alguns levantamentos atingiram a rocha sã. Os levantamentos eletrorresistivos foram os que tiveram melhor resultado, os levantamentos de sísmica obtiveram uma camada apenas em quase todos os levantamentos, sendo que em um deles, o segundo campo do Ponto Country Club, se obteve mais de uma camada de material. Os levantamentos sismoelétricos não tiveram seus tratamentos finalizados, pois se percebeu que era necessária a utilização pré-amplificador; sua ausência no levantamento no campo, aliado a presença de linhas elétricas nos locais do levantamento, prejudicou nos resultados dos dados coletados, fato indicado pela presença das linhas harmônicas nos dados, e consequentemente não ter finalizado o algoritmo de tratamento desses dados / Abstract: This research intended the application and understanding about connexion among three geophysical methods: eletrical resistivity, refraction seismic and eletrical seismic; in selected places along Itanhaem River Estuary and if they can be accepted by geological and hydrogeological information of the region. The survey was accomplished in two phases. The first one was to recognize field of study, which was realized from 21st to 26th of September 2009, that is considered a less rainy season. The chosen sites were: Praia Point, Chácara Point, Lixão Point and Country Club Point. The second phase was the data collection, at these chosen sites, Chácara, Lixão and Country Club; The Praia Point was excluded because it was very near of large power transmission towers and it was causing interference in the collected information, at the Lixão Point was verified existence of methane, on the surface, through the air bubbles in puddles, in the case of Country Club Point was located near two swamps and a small stream, the Ranch Point was located near the river called Branco, and it was possible to realized the free influence of this aquifer in data collection. The second phase period of data collection, occurred between September 2010 and August 2011. The surveys resulted in a central vertical shape of the selected sites, where the following materials were found sand, sandy sediments, clayey sand, dry clay, two types of groundwater (freshwater and brackish water), and saturated and unsaturated soils and waste. In some surveys reached the bedrock. The electrical resistivity surveys were those who obtained better results, the seismic surveys obtained only a layer in almost all surveys, and in one of them, the second Country Club Point, got more than one layer of material. The electrical seismic surveys were not their treatments finalized, because it was realized the need to use a preamplifier; its absence in the field survey, combined with the presence of power lines in the survey sites, affected the collected data results, condition indicated by the presence of harmonic lines in the data, and consequently have not finalized these data processing algorithm / Doutorado / Geologia e Recursos Naturais / Doutora em Ciências

No presente trabalho, buscou-se predizer os valores de porosidade de um reservatório através da integração de dados sísmicos 3D com perfis geofísicos de poços através de dois métodos: Regressão Linear Multiatributo e Redes Neurais Artificiais. O reservatório em questão é de constituição carbonática de origem Albiana, do final do Cretáceo Inferior. Na primeira etapa, foram traçados horizontes baseando-se em eventos sísmicos contínuos nas seções sísmicas, chamados superfícies cronoestratigráficas, no intervalo de profundidade que abrange o reservatório. Na segunda etapa, foram obtidos predições dos valores de porosidade do reservatório, assim como os respectivos modelos 3D, através dos dois métodos acima citados. Com a RLM, foram obtidos valores altos, baixos e intermediários de porosidade, variando desde 5% até 40%. Já com a RNA, tais valores variaram de 5% a 30%. Em ambos os métodos, os valores de porosidade apresentaram um crescimento da porção sudoeste em direção à porção nordeste, apresentando baixos valores nas profundidades referentes aos horizontes traçados. Picos com os valores máximos de porosidade foram observados em pontos dispersos por todo o volume 3D. Comparando-se os resultados obtidos pelos dois métodos, ficou evidente a maior eficácia da RNA, a qual apresentou correlação de 0,90 entre os valores reais e os valores preditos e erro de 2,86%, enquanto que os resultados obtidos através da RLM apresentou correlação de 0,55 e erro de 5,45%. Além disso, foi feita uma comparação com os aspectos geológicos do reservatório, na qual concluiu-se que as baixas porosidades da porção sudoeste se deve à presença de microporosidade e as altas porosidades da porção nordeste, à macroporosidade original das rochas. Concluiu-se também que as baixas porosidades encontradas nas regiões dos horizontes sísmicos estão relacionadas às diferentes texturas de rochas, já que as rochas presentes nessas regiões possuem maiores quantidades de matriz carbonática (packstones e wackestones) quando comparadas com as rochas das regiões entre os horizontes (grainstones) / Abstract: A good geological reservoirs characterization is very important for reducing the risk of drilling a dry hole as well as the costs for reservoir exploration and development. In this study, it was attempted to predict the porosity values of a reservoir through the integrations of 3D seismic data with geophysical well logs using two different methods: Multiattribute Linear Regression and Artificial Neural Networks. The studied reservoir has a carbonate composite, with the age of Albian, in late Early Cretaceous. On the first stage of the study, horizons have been traced based on continuous seismic events on seismic sections, in depths that cover the reservoir. On the second stage, it was obtained some predictions of reservoir porosity values, as well as their 3D models by the two methods that was already mentioned. High, low and intermediate porosity values have been obtained by the MLR, ranging from 5% to 40%. With the ANN, these values ranged from 5% to 30%. In both methods, the porosity values grew from south-west portion toward the northeast portion, with low values on the depths related to the horizons traced. We can observe maximum value peaks of porosity at points scattered throughout the 3D volume. A comparison of the results obtained by the two methods evidence the greater efficiency of the ANN, with a correlation of 0,90, between actual porosity and predicted values, and 2.86% of error, while the results obtained by the MLR showed a correlation of 0,55 and an error of 5.45%. Furthermore, we have made a comparison between the results obtained and the reservoir geological features, which allows us to conclude that the low porosity in the south-west portion is because of microporosity, while the high porosity in the northeast is because of the original macroporosity of the rocks. We also conclude that low porosity found on horizon surfaces are related to different rock textures, once the rocks on these horizon regions have more carbonatic matrix in their constitution (packstones and wackestones) than the rocks in the other regions between the horizons (grainstones) / Mestrado / Geologia e Recursos Naturais / Mestra em Geociências

Várias ocorrências de ouro estão dispostas em grandes zonas de descontinuidade crustal que delimitam terrenos geocronológicos e geológicos. O expressivo adensamento de corpos filoneanos e o histórico de produção destaca essa região de expressivo potencial exploratório. Neste contexto, o trabalho teve por objetivo a identificação de novos alvos exploratórios por meio da análise de dados geofísicos, descrição de testemunhos de sondagem e mapeamento de cavas garimpeiras. A integração desses dados contribuiu em especial à evolução do conhecimento geológico da região Flor da Serra, e também de maneira geral para o setor leste da PAAF. A área de estudo está inserida na Suíte Intrusiva Flor da Serra, que é constituída eminentemente por gabros, dioritos a monzogabros, entretanto com o mapeamento de cavas garimpeiras e descrição de furos de sondagem, verificou-se a existência de quatro unidades geológicas principais: (i) Granitóides do Embasamento de composição tonalítica a granodiorítica com associação de magnetita + granada, intrudidos por rochas da (ii) Unidade Granodiorítica a Tonalítica de mesma composição. Essa unidade é truncada por (iii) Diques Máficos a Intermediários e localmente há presença de (iv) Rochas Cataclásticas a Miloníticas. Os litotipos foram variavelmente afetados por sete tipos de alteração hidrotermal (ordem temporal): (i) alteração potássica intensa, (ii) silicificação pervasiva, (iii) carbonatação, (iv) alteração com muscovita, (v) propilitização mais pontual, (vi) alteração Quartzo-Sericita-Pirita (QSP) com substituição total da rocha e, (vii) vênulas de calcita tardias. Foram realizados levantamentos geofísicos utilizando métodos geoelétricos (Polarização Induzida/Resistividade - IP/RES) e magnetometria em escala de depósito. Valores anômalos de cargabilidade e resistividade obtidos após aplicação de um algoritmo de inversão com vínculo de suavidade definiram zonas de intensa silicificação e de QSP. Essas zonas estão diretamente relacionadas a um minério do tipo disseminado, além de terem possibilitado a delimitação da interface saprólito-rocha sã (manto intempérico profundo de até 50 m). Para facilitar a interpretação geológica, foram gerados mapas do campo magnético anômalo reduzido ao equador magnético e da amplitude do sinal analítico. Esse último possibilitou a definição de um stock granítico intrusivo no embasamento heterogêneo. Para eliminar ruídos remanescentes nos mapas de anomalias magnéticas, foram aplicados os filtros cosseno direcional e continuação para cima, com geração de mapa que confirmou o padrão estrutural vigente no Sistema Flor da Serra. Essa estruturação está associada à diferentes níveis crustais, balizam os principais corpos filoneano da região e também estão associadas a alteração QSP. A integração dos principais lineamentos estruturais; bolsões de alta cargabilidade e resistividade; mapeamento detalhado de cavas desativadas e zona de borda da intrusão possibilitou a definição de pontos de interesse prospectivo metalogenético / Abstract: The gold mining area of Flor da Serra is located in the East portion of the Alta Floresta Gold Province (PAAF), North of the state of Mato Grosso, inserted into the geological context of the South-Central portion of the Amazon Craton, which comprises plutono-Paleoproterozoic volcanic suites and associated sedimentary cover. Several gold occurrences are arranged in large zones of crustal discontinuities demarcating land geochronological and geological. The significant densification of filoneano bodies and production history highlights the significant exploration potential of the area. In this context, this study aimed to identify new exploration targets through analysis of geophysical data, description of drill core samples and prospecting pits. The integrated analysis of these data contributed in particular to the development of the geological knowledge of Flor da Serra, and also generally for the eastern sector of the PAAF. The study area covers the Intrusive Suite Flor da Serra which consists essentially of gabbros, diorites to monzogabros, however mapping of prospecting pits and description of borehole samples confirmed the existence of at least four main geological units: (i) granitoids in Basement of tonalitic to granodioritic composition association with magnetite + garnet rocks intruded by (ii) granodioritic to tonalitic of the same composition. This unit is truncated by (iii) the Intermediate Mafic Dykes and locally by (iv) cataclastic to mylonitic rocks. Rocks of the Flor da Serra have been affected by the following hydrothermal alteration types (temporal sequence): (i) intense potassic alteration, (ii) pervasive silicification, (iii) carbonation, (iv) alteration with muscovite, (v) punctual propylitization, (vi) Quartz-Sericite-Pyrite (QSP) alteration with total replacement of the rock and (vii) late calcite veinlets. The geophysical survey consisted of the application of geoelectrical methods (Induced Polarization/Resistivity - IP/RES) and magnetometry at deposit scale. Anomalous values of chargeability and resistivity allowed defining zones of intense silicification and QSP closely related to a disseminated ore type, beyond the boundaries of the saprolite-bedrock interface (deep weathering mantle of up to 50 m). To facilitate geological interpretation, maps of the magnetic anomalous field reduced to the magnetic equador and the analytic signal amplitude were generated. The latter allowed the identification of granitic intrusive stock in heterogeneous basement. To improve the final product and eliminate remaining noise cosine directional filter and upward continuation to 100 m were applied, providing a map which confirmed the structural pattern prevailing in the Flor da Serra system. This structural system is associated with different crustal levels, controls the main filoneano bodies of the region and is attached to QSP alteration. The integration of the main structural lineaments; zones of high chargeability/resistivity; detailed mapping of deactivated pits; and boundary zone of the intrusion led to the definition of prospective metallogenic targets / Mestrado / Geologia e Recursos Naturais / Mestra em Geociências
