Jason Eleson from Sproule

Collecting fossils in Nebraska as a kid kicked off a lifelong passion for geology that took Jason Eleson from exploring for oil and gas with Exxon to championing carbon capture, hydrogen storage, and geothermal projects in his current role at Sproule. With a knack for nonlinear thinking and over two decades of experience, he’s navigated the ups and downs of both massive corporations and nimble startups—always hungry to adapt and learn. His fascination with what’s hidden beneath the surface drives fresh approaches to CCS, helium exploration, and beyond, while bipartisan support could hold the key to shaping a more sustainable, forward-looking energy sector.
