JERICHO OIL ACQUIRES ADDITIONAL PRODUCTIVE ACREAGE IN PROLIFIC OIL PRODUCING CHANNEL; KANSAS LAND PACKAGE NEARS 3,600 ACRES FOLLOWING ACQUISITION

Jericho Oil Corp. has added production and an additional 475 development acres in Miami county, Kansas. The new acreage, located within two miles of Jericho's existing EKan-3 leases and which runs along the same prolific oil-producing channel, brings Jericho's total Kansas acreage position to nearly 3,600 acres. The acquisition has current production of approximately four barrels of oil per day and has been historically developed and produced since the 1970s. Development of the acquisition will be included as part of Jericho's anticipated phase II development efforts later this year. The acquisition follows Jericho's recent and successful phase I drilling program and contiguous acreage acquisition in the same prolific oil-producing channel on EKan-3. As reported in Jericho's news release dated Aug. 14, 2014, current production on the initial 160 acres in the channel is 30 barrels of oil per day from 12 channel producer wells. Good core data and well logs on EKan-3's original 160 acres from its phase I drilling spurred on Jericho's aggressive acquisition strategy in this play. Over the last four months, Jericho has acquired close to 900 acres in this trend.

Allen Wilson, chief executive officer of Jericho Oil, stated, "After positive results on our initial EKan-3 acquisition, we have been and will continue to diligently pursue and acquire additional acreage along this prolific reservoir." The acquired acreage is in the Paola-Rantoul oil field with development focused on a channel-type sand deposit, or stringer, running through the leases. This particular channel has been a prolific oil-producing reservoir, with over five million barrels of cumulative production, primarily from the Squirrel sandstone, typically found at depths between 600 and 700 vertical feet. Jericho will initially look to develop the channel, interpreted to be one-quarter to one-half mile wide, and will evaluate the potential for developing the overbank and splay deposits, as well.

We seek Safe Harbor.
