Land
Campus planning connects the field, access roads and future surface infrastructure.
The Kettleman setting
Water
Water requirements shape cooling design and the evaluation of useful heat from produced fluids.
Minerals
Multiple reservoir intervals create a layered foundation for field development.
Infrastructure
An established oil, gas, electricity and transportation corridor supports the regional setting.
Geology
Decades of cores, well logs and production records inform modern reservoir analysis.
Markets
Energy supply and customer demand guide each phase of campus development.
Campus vision
One location. Four energy layers.
01
Oil
A historically productive resource providing the commercial foundation for continued field development.
02
Natural gas
A local energy resource supporting dispatchable on-site power generation.
03
Solar
Daytime electricity generation integrated with the wider campus energy system.
04
Geothermal
Subsurface heat evaluated and developed alongside the field’s established geological and well infrastructure.

Explore the CampusINNEX California Inc. experience
Experience, integrated.
The approach
INNEX California Inc. connects oil, natural gas, solar and geothermal within one California campus development strategy. The value beneath remains our technical foundation: returning to overlooked data and interpreting it with experience to identify missed-pay opportunities.
01
Read the setting
Begin with outcrops and surface seeps, geological mapping and basin analysis.
02
Integrate the evidence
Bring together well logs and cores, geochemistry, seismic interpretation, production history and legacy field data.
03
Understand the reservoir
Connect reservoir characterization and recovery strategy with asset evaluation and project economics.
04
Develop with judgment
Translate technical interpretation into field development and practical execution, with decisions grounded in evidence.
The people behind the work
Jere Jay
CEO
Jere Jay is a geologist and energy entrepreneur with decades of experience in oil and gas exploration, development and subsurface evaluation. His approach combines traditional field geology with detailed interpretation of well logs, core data, production records and historical archives, often returning to original records to uncover information that has been overlooked or undervalued. Through INNEX California Inc., Jere has applied this combination of geology, history and practical industry experience to the Kettleman Hills of California, including the reassessment and development of Kettleman Middle Dome.
Today, Jere is leading the development of Kettleman Nexus, a broader vision for the site that builds on its established energy resources while looking toward its next generation of use. The program brings together oil and natural gas production with geothermal, solar and other complementary energy opportunities, alongside potential industrial and data infrastructure. At the heart of Jere's approach is a simple principle: understand what the geology and history are telling you first, then use that knowledge to make better decisions about what comes next.
