Our Mission is to advise and consult on a wide spectrum of energy issues, challenges and problems the energy industry and consumers are faced with, while providing practical solutions that leverage innovative technology to improve business value. This includes developing new businesses. Value is measured by improving performance and recovery, reducing cost and emissions, accelerating time to market and commercialize, and/or while enhancing safety.
What is in scope:
- Assist energy startups to commercialize, accelerate their time to market and assist with finding sources of funding.
- Identifying new oil and natural gas opportunities to invest in, which includes conventional and unconventional resources, and similarly advance and commercialize geologic hydrogen and geothermal energy.
- Progress various types of renewable energy sources, including hydrogen and utility-scale concentrated solar having overnight thermal storage.
- Assist Venture and Private Equity firms in assessing startup companies to help guide their investment decisions.
- Enable extraction of lithium and other critical minerals utilizing new technology methods.
Overview and Advisory Service Areas:
Rusty (John R) Gilbert formed JRGilbert Energy LLC in late 2020 and has extensive experience in the energy business with a proven track record in providing near-term business value. This can involve upstream and other business sectors as well as include renewable energy options. Often, this involves assessing and applying innovative technology solutions derived from early to late-stage startup companies. Today, for a business to be competitive, they need to incorporate advanced technology innovation that works well while incorporating Ai and machine learning solutions when appropriate.
In the United States, we are at critical cross-roads in being able to economically develop our hydrocarbon reserves, while reducing carbon emissions in the process. In concert, we need to continue to mature and commercialize viable renewable energy options that are cost-friendly to the consumer without depending on subsidies. A mix of energy sources are needed to meet our country’s growing energy needs and provide for a secure national defense.

There he successfully led an implementation team across Chevron’s up-mid-downstream businesses to use external developed innovative technology solutions that added significant business value.
In Pittsburgh, PA (2013-15), Rusty’s Technical Services team applied new technology applications and surveillance methods to unconventional plays that resulted in reducing cost and increasing recovery. A rotational assignment in Cabinda, Angola (2010-12) involved mentoring Angolan national staff to become proficient earth scientists before being permanently assigned to asset teams. While in Business Development (2008-10), he led a multi-disciplined reservoir management team in preparation for a large bid round (#2) in Iraq. While working out of TX & CA offices, held numerous leadership assignments in strategic and applied R&D teams, which supported Chevron’s worldwide shale plays and provided stratigraphic and reservoir modeling support for many of their major capital projects. Other leadership and subsurface assignments involved exploration, production and new ventures campaigns on and offshore Alaska (North Slope, Chukchi & Bering Seas), California, Wilcox in south Texas, Angola (shallow & deep-water), Namibia, and southeast Asia (China, Bangladesh, Thailand, India), many of which led to discoveries or new country entries.
Rusty has a BS degree in geology (Honors) from Rutgers University and a MS degree in geology from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Prior to graduate school he worked for NJ’s Dept of Environmental Protection and Water Resources Group. Outside of work, Rusty is involved with family and recreational activities. In 2018, he created the “Patriotic Colors” mobile app and Etsy online store to help support our veterans and American patriotism.
