one of the things they have to watch out for for both human safety and mechanical issues,from my last 2 posts is the extreme summer heat of this below sea level valley in the summer-I'm guessing would be hotter than Phoenix -the hottest large city in the states and thus would most likely average over 100 degrees for 5 months? Redding in Northern! Calif averages near 100 for 4 months
w a little elevation and surrounded by mountains
for the almost extinct knowledge seeker,temps cool or rise one degree fahrenheit for every 186 foot elevation or ca 5.4 degrees per 100 feet
so this is the kibbutz-didnt save and upload image due to c but PR been released a long time ago of course
Kibbutz Signs Surface Use Agreement
May 20, 2016Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. No Comments Blogs, Updates
Agreement Signed
Starting last fall, our Israeli staff began negotiations with representatives from Kibbutz Sde Eliyahu, the kibbutz on whose land we plan to drill our upcoming Megiddo-Jezreel #1 well.
We are very pleased to report that finally, last Sunday (May 15, 2016), we reached a key milestone – the Land Surface Use Agreement was finalized and signed by the kibbutz leadership.
Among other things, the kibbutz allows us to use the land surface and agrees that they will not object to the use of the drilling pad location for oil and gas exploration.
It is a blessing to have a good working relationship with the local kibbutz as we always seek to be good neighbors who have a sincere desire in being good stewards of the local resources while conducting our business. Our mission is to bless Israel and her people.
What’s Next?
Our key remaining hurdle relates to obtaining a rig and negotiating a drilling contract. Zion began the process a year ago and signed a Memorandum of Understanding with an international drilling services company, but that company, like many others in the current oil & gas price downturn, underwent a lengthy corporate reorganization and is no longer able to supply our needs.
We remain in negotiations with another company to possibly purchase a rig to send to Israel. If we are able to purchase a rig, we will no longer be faced with seeking drilling contractors each time we plan to drill a new well!
I sincerely believe that 2016 is the year that Zion Oil & Gas will drill our well and hopefully discover and begin to recover the oil (“blessings of the deep” Gen. 49:25) under the Land of Israel.
Please pray that God would grant us favor in our fundraising efforts and in our ongoing negotiations on a rig lease/purchase.
Sincerely,
Victor_Carrillo_Signature

i may have to look up the name of the kibbutz zn's well is on- saw the name somewhere
trying to get a better idea of the location,reading about oil wells on Golan,which mostly were shallow compared to Zions 16600 foot well.and initially realizing the largest town in the area of Zions well-Bet Shean-
which I believe is N of Zions well,is itself below sea level,and so Zions well likely is even lower in elevation. Its hard to find good topos without selling your unborn grandchildren, so I'm using the visitor angle to find info.

people running out of dry powder? in this chilled stock
sorry-apparently I had chosen those 2 stocks for my watchlist w that newsletter-doesnt explain why they listed zn twice - I receive so much bs stock stuff- used to receive up to 100 stock newsletters-and had trial subs from various stock groups -they were all nonsense.
One -a very expensive newspaper type format- during the limited time I took a trial - had almost all if not all its top recommends crash the day they recommended them
a lot of newsletters just rehash old mj stocks-is there more bs than this in any other profession? I hope not. Others,based on charts, recommend bankrupt companies etc
this newsletter -market beat-which posted ZN yesterday also -liked ZN so much today that it accidentally listed it twice
funny that I mod both stocks on another site

thats an impressive one day loss for shorts - one stock chart site I looked at said there was a 90% chance of ZN pps being between 1.19-2.54 in 3 months
I know u are a chart guy but most charts ignore whats happening in the real world on the ground,which is frustrating to a fundamental values trader
though the total numbers are slightly different,the % is basically the same at regsho.org.trf/nasdaq
i think the shorts think it will be a dry hole for they have not been phased
by any news

i know abut hardening-grew up in a cult,saved many lives temporarily, but hardening was the rule
i think they are hardened too and just dont believe in zion-for the last 2 years,no matter what the news, their % has stayed in the 40-60% range most of the time
http://www.volumebot.com/?s=zn
I haven't looked at ZN level 2 much til last 2 days and thought the endless string of 100 share trades(except for a 400) was very odd ,which is why I posted info on the urban myth? of mm 100 share "i need shares " sign-no shares were available to short yesterday as per interactive brokers site,which from 2009-2017 meant naked shorts suddenly started appearing, though there were new rules against that mar 1 2011,which rule proclamation was probably started before 2009
anarchists like george soros may also contribute to the organizations which opposed the Golan drilling in court-just as Russia funds 1 or more Hawaii native independence groups, but Nov 2017 article says Afek/Genie did not find commercial quantities of oil
I thought Israel annexed the Golan sometime ago since it was necessary to their security from the artillery used there against israel in the past
read the 3rd one down- a post on this site by hrfields?
level 2 pattern reminded me of the mm signals which some call an urban myth -- if 100 means i need shares and there were no shares available to short today-as a previous post of mine pointed out today from interactive brokers site- then mm's cud be posting their need and 400 to go sideways as it certainly has done
https://nortonsafe.search.ask.com/web?q=mm+signal+of+100+shares&o=APN11918&prt=NS&chn=PIF001&geo=US&ver=22.9.4.8&locale=en_US&guid=FC7962A8-3A0B-42A9-92E0-CD7C3E61C3ED&tpr=111&gct=sb&qsrc=2869&doi=2017-06-13
and during the time i've watched level 2 the bids at the mm's were all the same and the asks all the same- big buyer splitting his orders among the mm's or just the mm's themselves as you indicate-i've never seen such a straight line at this pps either
when i quoted standard convention language re passing the ships rail i was persoanlly attacked countless times despite copying and reporting the source many times
FOB - Free On Board: Seller turns over to the buyer responsibility when cargo pass ship’s rail. Buyer is liable for all the risk and damages of the goods after the cargo has been loaded on the vessel. Free on board also known as freight on board is one of the most common terms of transportation.
similar pattern before zn rose again despite s-ens being promoted today

interactive brokers short shares available per stock doesnt list zn today so no shares available to short at the time of report Last updated: Mon, 25.Jun.18 10:57EDT
my thought is day traders who often just spend a few minutes -but up to a couple hrs each morning -siphoning off pps
thanks -that explains it
what does reconstitution mean in this context-read several of the reports but no explanation
2 of the 5 sec commissioners are now trumps appointees and thus presumably pro-business
just replying so others can see the report from campo without fishing thru posts
dont know if legal has looked over the final accounting -they usually dont til auditors are done
then once legal is done-report can be forwarded to the specialist attorneys for form 10 etc
and that all assumes auditors agree w accountants without asking further questions
ZN has been mentioned in a couple newsletters recently such as the ff market beat newsletter-could accout for some recent volatility

nice -has anybody ever pointed out that to this day tar and oil and sulphur balls(uncovered by each rain) seeps out of the ground in the area of sodom etc- I/ve heard over the years there is quite a bit of oil tars whatever -youtube videos show tourist picking these things up as they walk along-e,g stan something,who plans on oil exploration somewhere in the area in a 2 plus hr video
with so many mutants in the market its hard to tell-day traders and shorts and mm's etc
as usual shorts dont believe zn's story no matter what news
http://www.volumebot.com/?s=zn
i've seen shorts in general- the noisy ones anyway-those who use lies and fear tactics- e.g., "the ship was sunk at sea"-use crafters tactics and the most egregious lies to profit
brokers are receiving our money to place our trades and claim a teaching function etc. In the crooked legal system which i witnessed to for over 20 years,even the crooked system holds fiduciary duty as the highest duty under the law, and lawyers, including a friend, are disbarred for even an emergency violation of such.
when political orders were disbursed to agencies w orders to destroy pennies bc 'all business is evil and must be destroyed', brokers dtcc etc were greenlighted to execute unconstitutional private public takings without due process against innocent 3rd parties,chilling or restricting thousands of stocks,with brokers etc restricting stocks without notice while they shorted the same to .0001, resulting in great carnage and the destruction of many lives.
My best friend, who dragged me in to help him avoid foreclosure due to the great recession,which congressional testimony showed was partly precipitated by shorters(e.g., Lehman didnt lose 62% of value in the REAL world in a day), and his family, lost their house and de facto their lives bc of such shorting- a tragedy repeated for 100's of thousands of longs.
For me it meant a 6 digit account was shorted to 3 digits-just a nominal .0001 pps,and many other consequences.
So, to me, brokers and other entities which are supposed to make the market safe for holders -including longs, shorting against their long clients is a violation of fiduciary duty.
Plus innocent 3rd parties -e.g.,longs -are NEVER held liable in the law-only in the new market(post sept 2009),where for example under those political orders thousands of pennies were suddenly restricted by brokers dtcc etc without due process/warning,wreaking havoc for uncounted longs.
Those in the legal know couldnt believe the unprecedented never before seen fraudulent actions and thought they had to be temporary.
i've noticed co's often dont update websites-not a priority evidently-and can take a long time esp if board of directors gets involved-change orders- and committees- took my best friend 18 months to update site of org i used to be pres of due to change orders from the board
they've had that margin position for sometime- they have 100's maybe even thousands of pennies on 70 or 100% margin-if you include 50% margin its probably thousands of stocks- in fact just today they said they dont allow buying of any stock under 2 dollars without funds in the account for effectively 4 days they said they consider every stock below 2 dollars to be in that category(which includes any nasdaq stocks -which only require a min bid price of 1 dollar)
even though i've looked at the financials of thousands of pennies i read recently that "most" pennies dont have revenue(i knew many didnt - didnt know it was ''most'',unless we're talking net revenue or even a product-many dont even have the means to produce revenue
perhaps td's 50% margin requirement is bc of the negative retained earnings to date of 190 some million without any revenue- but G-vo, which just had a huge short squeeze the last few days, has a negative retained earnings of $403 million- a real champion in that category,and jumped from $4 to $24 plus due to the short squeeze
good advice- today there are reportedly no shortable shares available on ZN as shown by an interactive brokers view shortable stocks site- which as you say is why brokers will use shares in a margin account without even asking and beg to borrow as you say from other accounts
chances for short squeezes supposedly rise above 30% shorted and ZN's been averaging 40-60% short forever -for the last 2 years i think-as far as i looked
and are all of these in the triassic - the bottom 400 meters of the well, as per Dustin,which the President/COO /driller Dustin Guinn said was Zions goal-which could only be drilled due to one of what Dustin called miracles -locating and obtaining the right kind/size pipe from italy to be able to drill the bottom 500 meters
Dustin did say due to the numerous obstacles they ran into they were running small pipe at the bottom-something like 3 and 5/8- maybe that fits into your previous experience scenario re the plug?
Dustin also said that due to lack of drilling onshore in israel the regulatory environment/rules were being defacto written as they proceeded
he said its not like drilling in texas where there are so many offset wells you already know exactly what pipe and conditions etc
that they were drilling in a virgin environment making everything more difficult
fixed expenses maybe but not variable/drilling expenses
see post 18333-have to communicate and coordinate w service providers and others
“While it has added a few days to properly plan for the logistics of this change with our service providers, we believe that these changes will provide the best opportunity for success in two of the zones that from a log analysis perspective identify some of the most encouraging criteria for production.
one site i looked at said only 9000 shares were available to short on zion yesterday or today
all these short reports are imperfect but the following indicates something else and zn does not even show at regsho.finra.org.orf whenever i look it up-maybe orf is wrong section for zn stock- i'll check sometime
http://www.volumebot.com/?s=zn
yes, it all seems to be orchestrated and I've never seen a witness like the ZN board, especially in business-it is very surprising
'Someday, someone will write a book about this well giving Glory where it is due.'
Mr Guinn mentioned some day he may write a book about all the impossible situations in drilling this well that were overcome by His favor,giving glory to Him
He does love to test,but since I've followed this for maybe 6 or more years I would say they and we have already been tested,and it would be odd for all the impossible situations overcome by favor to result in a non-commercial well, especially after the miracles allowed them to spend more millions to get to the desired 400 meters of triassic at the bottom of the well.
the whole point of the post feb 15 (when they reached 5060 meters/16600 feet)has been extended well testing bc of the oil in the circulating mud
I've followed this for many years and they never had extended well testing before-from a totally worldly point of view this whole adventure was crazy,as the tall guy speaker in part 4 of the video(who is never named in part 4)witnessed by Zion being the only oil company w this specific goal to bless israel and the only rig in country facing numerous normally impassable challenges
those who have studied israel's wars since 1948 cant figure out -using standard military analysis - how israel not only survived but turned the tables on the aggressors every time-but they have to admit israel exists bc it did survive and grow despite all odds to the contrary via a series of miracles
and the drilling overseer/speaker in part 4 video briefly described a series of challenges which were overcome against all odds,including 500 more meters of the right particular pipe from italy in just 2 days
the word ,according to itself, cannot be understood and is foolishness to the worldly bc the only thing that can save them is necessary to understand the word(1Cor 2:14 etc)
so from the viewpoint of those who understand the worlds "wisdom"(the world cannot have any wisdom,but it does not understand that) this-even drilling in israel is foolishness,but there is a method to the madness
,including the trials of 1 dry hole after another,and Zion chairman john brown is now 78
and i agree common sense and logic itself indicate extended testing would be a good sign in these days,as the days of oil gushers are over by design(unless something goes terribly wrong, as in BP's gulf adventure-)
an obvious dry hole needs no such testing-and they have 400 meters of triassic in the bottom
can such a situation be just another test -yes -but as the video 4 speaker said,even though he said to this day we dont know(from the worlds standards) whether we have a commercial well "i can tell you[from the brief litany of overcome challenges/miracles]we are going to be successful." in both of zions stated goals- to bless israel via oil and to witness...

as brothers says, have a blessed day
and 1.33 exercise price ca may 3 was ca market price at that time-in fact the poor 2 yr chart i had to look at said the high that day was 1.30-- so he paid market price for those shares
he paid ca 1.33 /share for 25000 shares acquired ca may 3 2017,leaving him 155000 shares
but after he sold 30k shares May 22 2017 for over 1.60 /share - a profit
still had 195000 shares after selling 30k shares 5-22-17 -so he acquired 225-30 =195 225- 155=
70000? more shares between may 3 and may 22? 2017

the point is he has 100,000 more shares NOW than he did after selling 30000 shares may 2017-- so whatever negative purpose you propose for his may 2017 selling has been superseded by positive well events since then
