- Jericho Energy Ventures Inc. (TSX-V: JEV) is an energy innovation company that develops solutions at the convergence of traditional hydrocarbons, artificial intelligence computing infrastructure, and clean hydrogen; it harnesses established oil and gas assets in Oklahoma to deliver energy for build-to-suit AI data centers, explores, develops, and produces crude oil and natural gas from joint venture properties across prolific formations including the Hunton, Mississippi Lime, Woodford Shale, and STACK Play in the Anadarko Basin, and advances the hydrogen transition through investments in Hydrogen Technologies' cleanH2steam DCC boiler for zero-emission steam generation, ETNA Solutions' alkaline electrolyzer systems, California Catalysts' non-iridium catalysts for lower-cost hydrogen production, and other partners like Supercritical Solutions and Aurea Holdings. The Vancouver, British Columbia-based company, founded in 2010 and formerly known as Jericho Oil Corporation until its rebranding in March 2021, operates primarily in the Mid-Continent U.S. with a focus on Oklahoma's energy corridor and targets AI data center operators, utilities, and clean energy markets. Recent developments include the extension in November 2025 of a letter of intent with Smartkem Inc. for a proposed all-stock merger to form a U.S.-owned AI-focused infrastructure company integrating semiconductor materials with JEV's energy platform, alongside the announcement in December 2025 of 20 MW grid power and accelerated interconnections for Oklahoma AI data centers, and the launch earlier in 2025 of its modular data center business leveraging natural gas assets.
