• Collect data from petrophysics testing and compile sample reports in Excel for presentation to clients regarding reservoir, aquifer, and ground contamination• Utilize Archie water saturation equation to calculate Formation Factor (FF), Cementation (m) and Saturation (n) exponents to calibrate logs.• Calculate chemical and physical properties of porous media, reservoir rocks and contained fluids• Utilize the following test methods: storage and flow properties for porosity, permeability and fractional flow; fluid identification; fluid phase distribution within gross void space for saturation; interaction of surface forces existing between the rock and the contained fluids for capillary pressure; measurement of pressure; stress conditions; electrical conductivity of fluid saturated rocks to recognize and assess hydrocarbon reservoirs; source rock; cap rock; and aquifers

• Extracted, cleaned, and leached reservoir rocks to measure permeability and prepare samples for testing utilizing closed loop solvent extractors containing (HAZMAT) solvents like Toluene, Xylene, Chloroform, Methanol, and Tetrahydrofuran (THF)• Gathered lab procedures and prepared a written manual for new hires which standardized procedures and improved lab efficiency by implementing parallel lab processes• Performed Dean Stark extraction to acquire gravimetric fluid saturation using organic solvents

Houston, Texas Area
