| Notes |
- When Aubrey was five years old, his family moved to Llano, Texas where he received his grammar school education and part of his high school education. He graduated from Austin High School. He attended the University of Texas and worked his way through college during the Great Depression. He graduated with honors in 1937, majoring in geology. After he graduated, Aubrey worked for Continental Oil Company in Midland, Texas. In 1938 he began working for major independents Harrison and Abercrombie before joining independent John Mecom as Chief Geologist and Exploration Manager, a title Aubrey held until 1968. In the 1950s, Mobil Oil attempted to buy out the Mecom oil interest. Mecom's meteoric rise as a successful independent caught the attention of Fortune Magazine in 1957. An article featured Aubrey as Chief Geologist as well as featured his employer and him in a photo. In 1970 Aubrey co-founded Cambridge Royalty Company in Houston, Texas. He was Executive Vice-President and Chief Geologist. The company's activities were worldwide and much of its funds came from the British Isles. In 1982, Aubrey left Cambridge and formed his own company—Aubrey H. Rabensburg Energy, Inc. which he owned until his death. Aubrey loved the geological profession and served in the Houston Geological Society as both president and vice president. He was also active in his church where he served as a deacon for many years.
