Our Mission

John Henry Oil is excited to be a part of America’s energy development. In addition to developing alternative energy sources, now more than ever America needs to continue to explore and develop its domestic oil and natural gas resources. Every barrel of crude oil discovered and produced in our country is one less barrel imported. Every dollar invested with independent oil producers in this country is one less dollar invested abroad. By investing in the discovery and development of our own natural resources, we not only support and create more jobs for Americans, we gain more control over our economic future.

Our Heritage

For more than nine decades, the Love family has been working the oil and gas fields of Appalachia. The heritage of John Henry Oil spans three generations of Independent Oil Producers committed to the discovery and development of productive wells in the Appalachian basin.

Fourth Generation

Dwight Jessie represents the fourth generation of the Love family in the oil field. His decision to be an independent American oil producer will ensure the long-term growth potential of the company and the future commitment to the ideals and operational philosophies established by Connie.

At John Henry, the Oil Business is not only our passion; but our way of life. We are a unique American Independent with a Strong Heritage and a Strong Future.
