Jericho Energy (JEV) has reported initial production results from its Lazarus 1 vertical well in Oklahoma.

“Oil and natural gas price stability provided the Jericho team with the opportunity to drill its first well in over four years. We’re extremely pleased with the initial results,” stated Brian Williamson, Jericho’s CEO.

Jericho Energy Ventures owns, operates and develops traditional hydrocarbon joint venture assets while advancing low-carbon energy transition projects, including active investments in hydrogen.
