Jere Jay is known as an exceptional,
innovative explorationist with an ability to
develop opportunities through the
application of his creative geoscience
expertise supplemented by advancements
in technology applied to previous activity.
Over the 20 years prior to establishment
of INNEX, initially with Tenneco and then
ARCO, he has worked on, and managed,
an impressive variety of domestic and
international projects ranging from
exploration in geographic frontiers to
geological engineering analysis of missed
pay and untapped reserves in existing
fields.
Jere combines a practical knowledge of
the energy business with exploration and
development data to develop new
projects. He has numerous commercial
successes, particularly in the San Joaquin
Basin, the Eel River Basin, and
Sacramento basin of California, in the
offshore Gulf Coast, and in Qatar.
Following the ARCO - BP merger in 2000,
Jere worked with SMU's Plano campus to
develop a business 'incubator' to assist
with the development and ultimate
success of start-up energy businesses in
north Texas. INNEX Energy was at
the Incubator until moving to the current
location in Allen.
Because of his knack for integrating
diverse topics in his work, while at ARCO
Jere was asked to develop an industry
field course called "Outcropping Oilfields -
From Seeps to the Subsurface". When
asked about the course, Jere said "The
best means to teach anyone from a new
hire to an experienced researcher is to
take them to visit several fields with a
billion barrels of oil and seeps at
outcrops." The course includes visits to
extraordinary geology, analogues for
acquisition, development, and
prospecting.
He received an MS in Geology from
Oregon State University and a BA in
Zoology from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.
