Bruce, You did not like that last message that I put up about all the Prophesied miracles that have occurred in the last 2000 years ???
And I posted a link for you as well so you could read it
Yes .... i agree that you are correct on the Mark of the Beast part...
But I would not buy Bit Coin if it is part of the Mark of the Beast as you put it.
Scary .....is it not ???
Zion Oil as a Prophecy for profit stock: looking back to the year 2010, there were two major Biblical prophecies going around at that time for which people might have been interested in investing, to try to gain riches based on the prophecies in the Bible. The first would be the Oil Prophecies, and investing $10 in Zion Oil stock would have been one way to do that. If you invested $10 in Zion Oil stock (to buy 1 share), today that stock would be worth... 5 cents. The other major prophecy going around in 2010 was the Mark of the Beast. For prophecy guru's, it should have been clear, and should have been known, the new BitCoin they were seeing, that had to be the number one precursor to the Biblical Mark of the Beast. If you invested $10 in bit coins at the end of 2010 (to buy 25 coins), today that $10 would be worth $1 million! Boy, did we all ever make a stupid decision, or what?
Wait for it .....
I haven't been keeping up lately with what they have been up to. Other than the 100 million shares of new stock being issued, did I miss anything?
Yes.... You MISSED your Bedtime
No, go on back to bed. You will be notified once oil is pumping.

What makes you say that?
The link to the article discusses finding a minor amounts of oil at around 16,500 ft, which is a little over 3 miles.
Half a mile seems to be the sweet spot that Zion wants to get to.

You've got me confused with someone else.
The only place in France I've been to is Marseille, and I was working when I was there.
According to their most recent update a few days ago, the well is almost 3 miles deep and they have drilled out about 1/2 mile so far.
In addition, they have had delays for equipment deliveries because of the ongoing war.

Porky.... We've missed you - Glad to see you back and that you are supporting ZN with full devotion.
Are you still vacationing in the North Central France ....Sologne ??
Have they been able to restore the condition of MJ#1 back to the way it was in the fall of 2018, or are they still awaiting parts? I haven't been keeping up lately with what they have been up to. Other than the 100 million shares of new stock being issued, did I miss anything?
What do you believe ? "As you have believed, so be it"
Every once in awhile, in approving medicines, some one that got the placebo gets healed. They believed that the sugar pill was real medicine that will help them.
I believe that this has been a very long time for assistance, and He who is never late, will bless Israel with oil, regardless if many nations will hinder Israel getting oil.
<< at least they are talking to us >>
And diluting more shares....
New update at least they are talking to us.
https://mailchi.mp/zionoil/update-386190?e=4e97ae8d53
May all your BELIEFS be right ...
I BELIEVE The darkest hour is just before dawn
Many possibilities could be covered up because of current situation
BLESSING WILL COME in my humble opinion, Israel needs oil, soon many nations may try to hinder, someone I know Is never late
Cool, I don't know who is doing the negotiations for ZN but I want him working for ME !!!!
And I hope you are right about the new Fracking.... I would like to see the price jump into the $'s that Exxon and Chevron are at right now.
IRisky it doesn’t matter I think Israel told those old boys by giving them the new lease we need that oil go get it! When old Rob starts pumping that Nitrogen and Micro-proppants
down MJ1 I can see that pressure rising cracks popping open oil start to flowing weeedoggies that PPS is gonna start shooting to the moon and who ever been shorting gonna need a crying towel!
It’s gonna be a real Cool thing for Israel and us longs!
Well EXCUUUUUUSE ME !!!!
But it sure looks like Game Stop was a Pump and Dump or trying to be Pumped and Dumped scheme to me.
And the Shorters always short ZN
That article has nothing to do with ZNOG. It is about shorters being squeezed out of their positions, thus raising the stock price. ZNOG doesn't even have options.
In addition, the article doesn't know what the hell it is talking about. The main reason that GME went sky high was because it used a fairly unknown strategy of buying Call options as a way of forcing brokerages to buy more shares (in order to cover the options in case they were exercised, since each option controls 100 shares). In other words, when Roaring Kitty bought 2,000 options, he effectively controlled 200,000 shares. If enough shares were not available, then that forced brokerages to buy shares a higher price, which then forced brokerages to do a margin call on shorters to buy back shares, which then forced the share price even higher. This caused a domino effect, which in turn brought in the retail masses, which forced the share price even higher.
Cool, This is what has been happening to ZN for years now.
Shorters say they want to help and warn them away from loss, but this explains what they are doing.
Somebody also posted about this sometime back.....can't recall who.
https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a35339535/game-stop-stock-short-squeeze-explained/
Videos and pics on FB don’t know what there doing but at least there doing.
A few new pictures we need an update not pics.
https://x.com/zionoil
IRisky I think that is very possible! Under the current state of affairs in Israel Zion probably
should play everything as close to the vest as possible. I know Zion has the duty to share holders to report information as it develops but
They also have the duty to share holders and Israel to keep the oil rig site safe and secure. By now the drilling crew should have the plug drilled out . Also Israel needs the oil more than ever now would you not think that Zion would accelerate things where they can . So yes that’s entirely possible!
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.
https://www.viking-intl.com/Viking-intl/index.php/products-services/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"

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.

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.
