JuniorLab Technician
1+ years of experience
Summary
Geological Sciences graduate with hands-on experience supporting subsurface reservoir dataset generation from oil sands core material in an industrial laboratory environment. Experienced in QA/QC-controlled workflows, saturation data production, and geospatial tools including ArcGIS and QGIS supporting subsurface interpretation and reservoir datasets. Highly proficient in Dean–Stark extraction, unconsolidated core handling, and basic petrophysical interpretation (gamma ray, density, neutron, resistivity logs). Demonstrated ability to maintain full sample traceability, perform analytical dataset validation, and coordinate multi-program batch processing to meet rigorous industry standards. Academic background includes systematic field investigations, bedrock mapping, lithologic classification, and structural measurements across multiple Precambrian sites to evaluate regional deformation history. Strong analytical mindset and technical documentation skills, ready to support downstream reservoir characterization, petrophysical workflows, and geological mapping projects.
Lab Technician
Loring Tarcore Labs Ltd.
Generate saturation datasets (bitumen, water, solids) from unconsolidated oil sands core using Dean–Stark extraction to support reservoir characterization workflows. Perform representative subsampling of heterogeneous unconsolidated oil sands core intervals to ensure analytical consistency across multiple well programs. Coordinate high-throughput batch processing across concurrent well programs under controlled handling protocols to meet client turnaround timelines. Maintain full sample traceability and structured documentation to satisfy QA/QC requirements.
GIS Technician Intern
Geological Survey of Jiangsu Province
Supported land-cover mapping through refinement of vegetation boundaries from satellite imagery using ArcGIS, contributing to baseline geological surface characterization. Performed routine geospatial dataset handling, feature digitization, and spatial data organization to ensure consistency of mapping inputs for internal geological documentation workflows. Assisted with preparation and verification of structured mapping layers used in regional geological interpretation and reporting.
