Generally they will work together provided you have the right tank size and aggresion isen't an issue. All of those fish are fairly placid by cichlid standards and you should be alright. Like Balton said though, make sure the oscar dosen't outgrow the other fish, oscars grow very fast and if the tankmates are small enough it may try to eat them.
not sure about the jurupari, but severums will work. just try to get the severum first if possible and give it a little extra time to grow before adding a smaller oscar. if you already have the oscar, it may or may not accept tankmates. depends on your fish.
I've been keeping oscars and severums together for a very long time. And they do work very well in tanks 4ft+ Which a oscar will need. And i've even kept 3" Juripari with 12" Oscars. (This was in a 6ft tank though)
