Cool, Is it possible that there is a "Strategic Moving Forward Plan" that we are not aware of ???
As if ZN has actually produced "some" viable / plausible amount of Oil from the new Technology ?
With the unrest in the region - I would remain silent as to not draw fire.
but that's just me...
Quote of the Day: "We do this not because it is easy......but because WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASY"
M50....remember those Ridiculous Posts you were talking about ?
Wellllllll.....Looky at Bruce's last post
Bruce...Tell me it's NOT TRUE !!!!
You don't work a construction site in your undershirt with no covering at all
THEY WERE HALF NEKID ??? !!!!
AND NO HARD HATS ???!!!!
Bruce....after all the Restrictive Covenants ... Observing Jewish Holidays ..... Semester Breaks...... Road Closures ......Wars and Rumors of Wars.....
Don't you think that ZN is going is going to comply with ALL local safety requirements???
Wait....that's another one Bruce.
What if some of the Workers decided that it is far too dangerous to be on the Rig Site because of Current Affairs and Unrest ???
Maybe those were Uber Drivers they used for the Picture. (And I will be the first to craft a strongly worded letter to Israeli Uber concerning their Dress Code)
Something is wrong there, and you can't see it.
Bruce....I nominate you to be CHIEF SAFETY INSPECTOR.
We shall discuss your rate of Compensation at a later date.
As I mentioned before, white hats are management. IPM Solutions is a management/engineering firm. The fact is, the photo I looked at showed the crew without uniform, with some of the crew in their undershirts, with the white undershirt(s) dirty from working the site. You don't work a construction site in your undershirt with no covering at all. Add in no hard hats for the crew (except management) and that kind of supervision is going to get someone killed. Something is wrong there, and you can't see it.
Great post made me laugh!
I respond to ALOT of ridiculous posts on this Board.....because there are ALOT of ridiculous posts
I'm just trying to make them feel like they are making a difference or that somebody actually reads their posts
It all depends on my blood alcohol content at the time
to which post or to whom are you referring??? (burp)
(just kidding....i'm not a big drinker)
today was a slow day..... I think my Spirit Animal is the Sloth.
IRisky and Magician19
It is strange and can’t find anything that connects but this company has a IPM group
Integrated Project Management.

IRisky, I cannot believe you would even respond to such a ridiculous post.
The other name on the guys hard hat is Ismail
Ok click on the link below and click on the August 5th photo click on the individual pictures to blow them up. You will see the logo on the guys with the grey shirts IPM solutions.
Especially the guy with the white hard hat.
https://x.com/zionoil
I found Angelo's name as well
Zion's Facebook page have photos with crew members with IPM Solution on their shirts. Possible Speculation about one of the pictures.....One of the guys has the Name Angelo on his Safety Helmet. Angelo Bianco is listed as a contact at the bottom of IPM Solution's website. Might not be the same guy...but not sure.
Not placing judgment but WHERE did you see this logo and what shirts is it on ?
Please provide a link or a image of some sort
thanks....
Anyone know of this company.
When I look at the pictures some of the guys have this company logo on their shirts.
https://ipmsol.com/
That is a very valid point about the Hard Hats Bruce.
But what if..... ZN Management wanted to be in the picture (for no other reason than vanity's sake) or to send the message even our Management is out on the job inspecting and working hard.
What if.... some hard hats came from other rigs or site previously worked on
What if ....it was Lunch time when the picture was taken or after hours
What if ...the guys on the rig wanted to make sure everybody saw their faces - and some got out of picture for whatever reason.
Pictures are worth a thousand words and explanations or first impressions.
If I sent you a picture of a Horse laying on the Ground....would you bet money the Horse was alive...dead....sleeping....lazy ??
I an shocked thus stock os not half a penny with WWIII potentially happening.
Look closely at the Jul 26 group photo of the drilling crew. I mean besides the fact that none of them are wearing uniforms (the Romanian crew they used before on MJ#1 was operating under the supervision of a Romanian bankruptcy court, so it's unlikely that company still exists). So besides not know where they came from other than Romania, notice anything ususal about the photo?
The group photo of the 17 rig workers, only 6 of the 17 had hard-hats. So, who is the drilling supervisor, and is he a moron or what? No one let's people work or even walk around a construction or oil rig site without a hard-hat. No one. If you've ever worked construction, you know how strickly that rule is enforced.
Also, the hard hats they were wearing were all the same color, and white (construction workers know what that means). The white hats at virtually all construction sites are owner/management people (workers tend to wear yellow hard hats, with other colors for vendors and visitors). So no workers had hard hats! None? Just 6 management people there. What the heck is going on?
Sounds good, thanks.
For one thing, there are various techniques to be decided upon. Evidently there was sufficient showings and reason to move over a few feet and drill again. So the chances are good to try another propellant or method whether on MJ01 or MJ02. With many techniques the reservoir expansion and production improves for other nearby wells as well.
Thanks. Yeah, guess we’ll see.
I did a 5 minute search online of oil and gas proppants, they first used proppants during the late 1940s, I think in Nevada, using sand. By the 1980s, they had several oil service companies manufacturing ceramic proppants to replace the sand they were previously using, and by the later 1980s, those companies had available other fluids (if they had the money) in place of using water. But that was 35 years ago. So, while you are asking questions, be sure to ask, what new technology?
They told us what they intended to do to MJ#1 at the ASM a couple months ago, but never really said if any of that was the new technology. No questions were asked about the new technology at the ASM - really? Strange, of course, we really couldn't see what questions people were sending in, and they only answered some during the meeting.
The counter argument is that Zion is going to use newer stimulation techniques (fracking or equivalent) than were available in 2018. My question is this, are these newer stimulation techniques newer than what was used in MJ02? If so, why wouldn’t Zion try them in MJ02 first? And if these newer techniques WERE tried in MJ02, what is different about MJ01 that makes it worthwhile to test this nearby hole? I own Zion shares but I’m still asking, not criticizing.
It brings you back to the status that MJ#1 was in late 2018.
Where do you guys buy your rose colored glasses? The "eyebuy..." people online don't sell that option (I checked). With what's going on in the world today, I definitely need a set.
Well well well what a deep subject!
The plug should be drilled out and who knows what the next month will bring!
I wish my Kitchen Floor was as clean as that one in the Samples Lab picture.
I always say..... "My Kitchen Floor is so clean you can eat off of it - there's some Fritos over there on the floor and there's some spaghetti over there on the floor"
agree with you( only takes two)
soon and very soon
A dream you dream alone is only a dream, a dream you dream together is reality
I read this somewhere!
Pictures of the MJ01 worksite this past week!

I like dreaming too
Sometimes they even come true
"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world." Oscar Wilde
surrounded by nations with oil, why not Israel too
Day Dreaming!
Would it not be wonderful if Zion opened MJ1
and find after being closed all this time that oil would be flowing! I know just dreaming!
It was excellent.
I was in a meeting yesterday and could not make the Prayer Meeting - how was it ???
As we are not insiders and not privy to certain info we must be optimistically cautious which I think most here are that way.
HOWEVER, some inside info might just be pointing to a revelation??
Yes sir, but no one knows God's timing or his plan. History shows the path is zig zaggy and filled with pot holes.
Who knows, maybe another Seige of Masada is in store. Just saying. I would say to John, don't get to cocky. It's not worth jumping
off the fortress wall. Hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on. There is always another day and another hole to punch
which may be the honey pot. Onward Thru Da Fog!!
It also would bear keeping a close eye on the acreage that was dropped off. Who got it or not?
Never hurts to be aware of all the parts of the formula. Just saying.
Totally agree rich2. I've been in this one for a long time. Been buying recently, as I want to keep my percentage of ownership the same or greater as they issue and sell or shares. Especially now as things are looking more promising again with the re-entry.
For such a time like this.
Hello my friend, we must think a lot alike
I believe I was a little low on this stock, bought some more today I believe that Israel will get blessed real soon
sometimes the blessing comes when it darkest
It has been said that the darkest hour is just before dawn

KyOil, what are you thoughts regarding Zion’s latest update? Are you optimistic?
So MJ1 should be opened by the end of the month! Could 2024 be the year?

Dear Zion Shareholders and Supporters,
As of the writing of this update, field operations remain on schedule, and our rig is now positioned over the MJ-01 wellbore. Repairs and maintenance, as well as the inspection of the rig, have all been completed successfully. All necessary wireline equipment for the project has been mobilized with additional essential items from India, China, Romania and Greece currently in transit for the final stages of operation.
Lord willing, this week will mark a significant milestone, as we actually re-enter the MJ-01 wellbore. This initial phase of the recompletion project involves drilling out the plugs and nearly 625 meters (approximately 2,050 feet) of cement in the well. This process should take us to the end of the month, at which point we will run a series of wireline tests and casing integrity tests to ensure that the wellbore has withstood the past six years of high temperatures.
If all goes as expected, we will then proceed with the perforation, stimulation, and well testing portion of the project. Based on our planning and careful preparation, we hope and anticipate the project will move toward completion at a reasonably efficient pace at that stage. Please note, of course, that the ongoing conflict in the north of Israel may cause unexpected changes to our schedule, so we will need to remain flexible.
Your prayers and support are invaluable as we press forward in these unprecedented times. We are excited for the future and will share more updates with you in the coming weeks.
Thank you all for being such an integral part of our journey for Israel's oil.
Robert Dunn
CEO, Zion Oil & Gas, Inc.
Monty Kness
VP of Operations
Interesting Day to say the least
That makes sense!
I'm not sure either Cool, but if I was guessing it could be that ZN is "attempting" to conserve money at this time.
Why lease a 20x30 Storage when you can get by with a 10x20.
Maybe ZN found enough Shale Oil in this spot and sees no further need into exploring others.
We have 200 questions that ZN will not answer, so we plod on.
Not sure this means anything.
Zion Oil old License had 99000 acres
We are thankful to announce that we received an extension for our 99,000-acre Megiddo-Jezreel License for six months, from August 2, 2022, to February 2, 2023.
Zions new License has 75000 acres.
This exploration license 434, similar to Zion’s previous exploration licenses, will be valid for three years until September 13, 2026, with the option of four 1-year extensions for a total of seven full years until September 13, 2030. This new license includes approximately 302 square kilometers or about 75,000 acres.
IRisky, I would love to provide you with a detailed analysis in response to your question but unfortunately, I have no clue.

ABOUT ZION OIL AND GAS COMPANY
Zion Oil & Gas is a U.S.-based corporation formed under Delaware law, exploring for oil and gas in Israel on licensed and permitted areas of approximately 99,000 acres located onshore between Tel Aviv and Haifa. Click on below link to find out more about Zion Oil & Gas.
COMPANY INFORMATION
In 1985, during a visit to Israel, John M. Brown (our founder and CEO) became inspired and dedicated to finding oil and gas in Israel, and he started the process that led to the Joseph Project. During the next fourteen years he made several trips each year to Israel, hired oil and gas consultants in Israel and Texas, met with Israeli government officials, made direct investments with local exploration companies, and assisted Israeli exploration companies in raising money for oil and gas exploration in Israel. This activity led Mr. Brown, together with others who had assisted him during those years, to form Zion Oil and Gas, Inc. in April 2000 in order to receive the award of a small onshore petroleum license from the Israeli government. Upon its formation, Mr. Brown and the others contributed to Zion all of the technical, economic, legal and financial data they had accumulated over the years relating to oil and gas exploration in Israel. We were reincorporated in Delaware on July 9, 2003. Though we have been around a long time, support for Israel, it is similar to the recent phenomena of social and ethical investing,where in crowd fundraising and otherwise people can choose investments which match their social & political, etc., outlook. To our knowledge those groups are not discriminatorily targeted because of their beliefs.

.
Nature of Operations as of November 2018
Zion Oil & Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation is an oil and gas exploration company with a history of 18 years of oil & gas exploration in Israel. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has no revenues from its oil and gas operations.
Zion maintains its corporate headquarters in Dallas, Texas. We also have branch offices in Caesarea, Israel and Geneva, Switzerland. The purpose of the Israel branch is to support the Company’s operations in Israel, and the purpose of the Switzerland branch is to operate a foreign treasury center for the Company.
Exploration Rights/Exploration Activities
The Company currently holds one active petroleum exploration license onshore Israel, the Megiddo-Jezreel License, comprising approximately 99,000 acres. The Megiddo Jezreel #1 (“MJ #1”) site was completed in early March 2017, after which the drilling rig and associated equipment were mobilized to the site. Performance and endurance tests were completed, and the MJ #1 exploratory well was spud on June 5, 2017, ahead of the June 30, 2017 deadline under the then-existing license terms. The MJ #1 well has been drilled to a total depth (“TD”) of 5,060 meters (approximately 16,600 feet). Thereafter, the Company obtained three open-hole wireline log suites (including a formation image log) and the well was successfully cased and cemented. The Ministry of Energy approved the well testing protocol on April 29, 2018. Testing of the well is ongoing and the Company expects that testing will be concluded in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Depending on the final outcome and results of the current MJ #1 well and having adequate cash resources, multiple wells could be drilled from this pad site as several subsurface geologic targets are reachable using directional well trajectories.
Megiddo-Jezreel Petroleum License, No. 401 (“MJL”)
The MJL was awarded on December 3, 2013 for a three-year primary term through December 2, 2016, with the possibility of additional one-year extensions up to a maximum of seven years. The MJL lies onshore, south and west of the Sea of Galilee, and the Company continues its exploration focus here as it appears to possess the key geologic ingredients of an active petroleum system with significant exploration potential. In late November 2016, The State of Israel’s Petroleum Commissioner officially approved Zion’s drilling date and license extension request.
On October 30, 2017, the Company sought a multi-year extension to its existing license. After receiving feedback from Israel’s Petroleum Commissioner, the Company submitted a revised extension request on November 9, 2017. On November 20, 2017, Israel’s Petroleum Commissioner officially approved the Company’s multi-year extension request on its Megiddo-Jezreel License No. 401, extending its validity to December 2, 2019. Until recently, the Company remained subject to the following updated key license terms:
No. | Activity Description | Execution by: | ||
1 | Submit final report on the results of drilling | 31 May 2018 | ||
2 | Submit program for continuation of work under license | 30 June 2018 |
On June 1, 2018, Zion submitted its Megiddo-Jezreel #1 End of Well Report (EOWR) for the MJL, thus fulfilling our item No. 1 Final Report license work plan obligation, shown above.
On June 14, 2018 Zion submitted its Application for Extension of Continued Work Program Due Date on the Megiddo-Jezreel License No. 401 . The additional time was necessary because the Company had still not completed testing and evaluating all planned testing zones. On July 1, 2018, Israel’s Petroleum Commissioner granted Zion’s work program report extension to November 1, 2018, as shown below.
No. | Activity Description | Execution by: | ||
1 | Submit program for continuation of work under license | 1 November 2018 |
On October 23, 2018 Zion submitted its Application for Extension of Continued Work Program Due Date on the Megiddo-Jezreel License No. 401 . The additional time was necessary because the Company had still not completed testing and evaluating all planned testing zones. On October 28, 2018, Israel’s Petroleum Commissioner granted Zion’s work program report extension to January 31, 2019.

Notes from November 20, 2018 Operational Update:
Given the thermal gradient, flow rates, surface pressure and low salinity, certain ministries within the Israeli government have made requests of Zion concerning the use of the well as a water monitoring well. Zion will review the economic impact and obligations as a result of this request to determine a prudent plugging plan.
•Zone 4;
?1,784-1,775 meters flowed naturally and continuously to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained from monitoring samples taken while the well was flowing indicated low chloride water.
•Zone 5:
?1,232.5-1,228 meters flowed naturally and continuously to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained from monitoring samples taken while the well was flowing indicated low chloride water.

Zion Oil & Gas Purchases Drilling Rig for Israel Operations
Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZN) announces they (i) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement on March 12, 2020, for a drilling rig, drill pipe, and related equipment for $5.6 million in cash, and (ii) closed that purchase on March 12, 2020, the same day, by Bill of Sale from the seller to Zion.
On March 13, 2020, Zion paid the seller $4.6 million in cash and remitted the remaining $1.0 million in cash to an escrow agent to be held pending completion of acceptance testing of the rig upon its arrival in Israel.
“This is a new era for Zion and a positive step forward for our 2020 exploration plans,” Zion’s COO, Robert Dunn said. “With our asset based in the State of Israel, our planning and flexibility will become more robust.”
“We believe this is the right time for this to happen,” stated Zion’s President, Bill Avery. “Having cash budgeted and available for the purchase of this rig shows the strong support of our shareholders and evidence of God’s faithfulness.”
The rig is a 1600 horsepower AC Top Drive equipped rig with a twin 1600 horsepower mud pump system with a depth capability of 20,000 ft. The rig will be equipped with almost 15,000 ft of heavy 5” drill pipe along with associated well control equipment and inventory.
Actual rig pictured above. Currently stacked awaiting shipment to Israel. 1600 horsepower AC Top Drive equipped rig capable of 20,000ft depth.
The rig underwent a full CAT III & IV certification in late 2017, reassuring the quality of the rig and ancillary equipment, and it has drilled two wells since certification.
The rig and equipment will be imported into Israel from Romania, where the Drilling Rig is currently stored.
The State of Israel has currently imposed travel restrictions relating to the Coronavirus outbreak, including a requirement that any person arriving in Israel, including the operating crew for the rig, will currently need to undergo a two-week quarantine.
In addition, the ports of entry into Israel through which the rig will need to enter, may be undergoing work disruptions on account of the virus outbreak. Accordingly, it is not possible at the present time to accurately estimate the time or resources that may be necessary to import the Drilling Rig onto the well site or any delay arising as a consequence of the outbreak.
Zion Oil & Gas, a public company traded on NASDAQ (ZN), explores for oil and gas onshore in Israel on their 99,000-acre Megiddo-Jezreel license area.

ZN MJ#1 well finds active petroleum system that is not commercially productive. 3-D seismic testing in progress.
Zion Oil and Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which has an active petroleum exploration license onshore Israel, the Megiddo-Jezreel License (“MJL”), comprising approximately 99,000 acres, announces that it has completed the testing program of its primary zones located within the Jurassic and Cretaceous-age Formations of the Megiddo-Jezreel #1 (MJ #1) well. As a result of the testing, Zion has determined that the well is not commercially productive.
Given the thermal gradient, flow rates, surface pressure and low salinity, certain ministries within the Israeli government have made requests of Zion concerning the use of the well as a water monitoring well. Zion will review the economic impact and obligations as a result of this request to determine a prudent plugging plan.
•Zone 4;
1,784-1,775 meters flowed naturally and continuously to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained from monitoring samples taken while the well was flowing indicated low chloride water.
•Zone 5:
1,232.5-1,228 meters flowed naturally and continuously to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained from monitoring samples taken while the well was flowing indicated low chloride water.
