After taking time off to raise her young family, Sarah Hebeler faced the challenge of reentering the workforce without compromising time at home. She explored various paths, from substitute teaching to launching a furniture upcycling business. Throw in a global pandemic for added complication, and any progress came to a standstill—until a former colleague encouraged her to revisit her extensive experience in operations geology and drilling.
She returned to the industry in an entry-level role building wellbore diagrams and quickly reestablished her technical footing. As her skills grew, so did the opportunity. What began as a solo consulting effort evolved into Tech OG—a business built on experience, resilience, and Sarah’s vision to create meaningful work for others.
Our mission is to provide unparalleled engineering and geologic support through expert advice, ensuring the highest quality of service while optimizing costs for our clients.
We are committed to upholding this mission through the following core principles:
A petroleum geologist and certified PMP with 15+ years in the energy industry, Sarah brings a strategic, solutions-driven mindset to every project. Her work spans wellbore engineering, operational geology, and regulatory compliance—with a focus on improving process and performance. Outside of work, she’s a puzzle enthusiast, science lover, and a dedicated mom of teenagers (and a few energetic dogs).
With 15+ years of technical and executive experience, Aaron specializes in subsurface strategy, land acquisition, and capital project execution across the energy sector.

Tech OG is a go-to partner for navigating California’s regulatory landscape. Sarah and her team bring deep CalGEM expertise and deliver strong technical execution across idle well management, WellSTAR submissions, and data analysis. For smaller clients, they’ve even leveraged RAWview to streamline workflows and accelerate results. For operators looking to outsource regulatory compliance, Tech OG is a smart, reliable solution.
“Tech OG completed a variety of technical projects for CalNRG over the past four years, where we’ve utilized them to assist our staff in areas of high workload. Tech OG excels in project and data management and has consistently completed work with great efficiency and accuracy, and well within time and budget constraints. Tech OG has a high degree of knowledge of State regulatory rules and requirements and demonstrates a good working relationship with the regulators associated with our projects. We very much appreciated the work performed and would recommend them for consideration on future projects.”
“Courtney did a thorough, timely, and professional job on a project involving finding, validating, and documenting well directional, location, and logging data. All work was timely. Communication was easy and clear.”
