Loomis Geologic Consulting

Consulting Geologist

I solve energy resource and environmental problems by applying my technical skills in sedimentary basin analysis (stratigraphic analysis, depositional systems analysis, subsurface correlation and mapping). I perform quick-look analyses or more extensive studies, to match the needs of my client. Organized in thought, presentation, and project execution. Broad experience base.

My most recent work involves exploration for lithium-enriched brine in Nevada.

Other recent consulting projects include:
Oil & gas exploration and prospect generation in the Permian Basin, including conventional and unconventional plays, utilizing Petra; Assessed the hydrocarbon potential of a shale resource play in Nevada by evaluating petroleum geochemistry data; Provided detailed subsurface stratigraphic correlations of an alluvial unit using borings and e-logs to assist in the interpretation of DNAPL groundwater contamination; Completed a regional stratigraphic study and hydrocarbon evaluation of the Elko Formation in Nevada, which included the chronostratigraphy, paleogeography, and the tectonic evolution and tectonostratigraphy of the Elko lacustrine basin.

Geographic Areas of Oil & Gas Experience:
Gulf of Mexico (shelf and deep water); North Slope of Alaska; West Texas and New Mexico (Permian Basin); New Mexico (San Juan Basin); onshore California (San Joaquin Basin); offshore California (Point Arena Basin, Santa Barbara Basin); Nevada (Elko Basin, Bull Run Basin); offshore Vietnam (Mekong Basin); Indonesia; Sulu Sea, Philippines (Sandakan Basin); offshore West Africa (deep-water exploration, offshore Gabon).

Experienced in the Following Oil & Gas Play Types:
Deep marine (including deep-water turbidites; submarine fan systems; salt-induced intraslope basins; shale plays); siliciclastic shelf; carbonate shelf (algal mounds, carbonate shoals); fluvial (incised valleys).

President

As President and CEO of the corporation, I oversee all aspects of the organization, including corporate compliance, nonprofit compliance, field trips, publications, finances, scholarship funding, marketing for sponsors, the website, email announcements to members, recruitment of new officers and chairs of committees, and contracts with the meeting venue. I also lead monthly dinner meetings, which includes my President’s message with announcements pertaining to oil & gas and geothermal activities.

3PL Operating, Inc.

Chief Geologist

Lithium exploration in Nevada. Integration of subsurface analyses (including well logs and geophysical surveys) with geologic field studies to develop a reservoir model, an innovative exploration model, and exploration targets for lithium-enriched brine. This is the largest lithium exploration project in Nevada, consisting of 1,796 placer mining claims on BLM leaseholds, and spanning 56.25 square miles (36,000 acres).

University of Nevada, Reno

Adjunct Professor, Dept. of Geological Sciences & Engineering

Instructor of Geology 202 (Sedimentology and Stratigraphy) for Geology, Hydrogeology, Geophysics, and Geological Engineering majors.
GEOL 202 is an introduction to sedimentary rocks, sedimentary processes, fluid dynamics, and the principles of stratigraphy, including dating, correlation, sequence stratigraphy, and reconstruction of past depositional environments.

Comments from my GEOL 202 students:

- "Dr. Loomis was seriously the best professor I've ever had."
- “One of Dr. Loomis’ greatest strengths is her extensive field experience. She has spent many years in industry, and is therefore able to provide real-world examples about how what we are learning can be applied.”
- “Absolutely one of the best professors I’ve ever had. Not only is she knowledgeable on the subject, she also helps with job advice within the field, which is amazing.”
- “Dr. Loomis is the best geologic science teacher I have ever had. She structures her class in a way where it is evident that she wants you to learn and understand the material. Dr. Loomis also is very approachable in her office hours. I know I won’t forget the contents of this class due to her excellent teaching methods and her well-constructed slides.”

U.S. Forest Service

Skied the mountain and interacted with patrons to answer questions about Snow Valley and the environment (e.g., forest, geology). Also acted as a liaison between the ski patrol and skiers/snowboarders to provide assistance if needed.

Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter

Socialized cats that were being offered for adoption. I also kept them warm in outdoor cages in the dead of winter in Bozeman, Montana, where I mastered the art of holding three cats at one time.

Geologic map of the Kreyenhagen Hills - Sunflower (McLure) Valley area, Fresno, Kern, Kings, and Monterey Counties, California

Geological Society of America Map and Chart Series MCH074

Scale 1:24,000, 4 sheets. See link to USGS National Geologic Map Database for mapped area. This geologic map is, in part, a result of my Ph.D. research, where I mapped approximately 58 square miles on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley of California. Geologic mapping provided the context for measuring stratigraphic sections (8,000 ft of vertical section), analyzing the stratigraphy and sedimentology, determining the age of the rocks by mapping and dating volcanic tuffs, and for collecting rock and fossil samples. The purpose of my Ph.D. research was to reconstruct the depositional systems, tectonics and sedimentation, and paleoecology of the west-central San Joaquin Basin during late Miocene to Pliocene time.
