Interesting what is going on between Cyprus and Israel. This seems to have been going on forever and needs to be resolved.

Absolutely!

Love this post Tisdal.

After all these years I am ready and Excited to see it happen as I truly believe it will.
Ready to see Zion be celebrated for all their hard work through all the conditions they have had to deal with. Also ready to see Israel reap the benefits of Zions success and have countries from around the world come for the oil they so desperately need.

Well, it looks like Zion plans to stay in business for the foreseeable future!
Must be some reason to keep the doors open!!! Wink Wink

KyOil Thankyou so much!

KyOil, I shared your post from yesterday on the Stocktwits board. A most excellent post by the way! Anyway a person named Lenny who has actually been to Zion's drill site and who goes by the handle LawisRight wanted me to ask you a question.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Based on mudlogging/ fluid samples can a ratio of oil to other fluids be ascertained as a preliminary to actual DST?

Does he think ZNOG has a good idea how large a field they are working with?

Thanks in advance
Lenny"

Thanks KyOil

Not taking issue. I love David Jeremiah. Just pointing out that he did not mention the oil and gas as a catalyst like he has in the past. Overall I think it is a Great video.

More information about the recent gas discovery by Energean in Israel and the possible export of said gas.
NOTE: When Noble Energy originally discovered the Tamar and Leviathan gas fields the gas numbers were low and kept increasing over time and that is what I expect will happen with this discovery as well.

Agree: And the fact that the oil minister extended the license for 8 months which is highly unusual speaks volumes! I can't find any evidence of an 8 month extension when the usual is 6 months and in Zions case was there even to be an extension? All this leads me to believe they really have oil this time.

Really good article to have been written during a lunch break in my opinion and obviously written by someone who follows most of the discussion platforms!

Always like the way you explain things. Thank You!!!

Sending Prayers your way on this Passover flatron, BC_Burlyman. May God Bless you and your wife. Glad to see you are still here with us!

Very Good Read about off shore drilling for gas. It leads me to believe this would apply for on shore also?..? I think the pressure is getting to the energy minister. Looks like she is now saying 1 year break? Zion has had a long and very friendly association with Israel.
No matter, we have oil... ????

Article D Extension of Licenses. Sure leads me to believe we have a Discovery!

Well, I believe news is starting to spread.
I believe this is going to get interesting very fast.

SO, I replied back to Israel Today and this was my reply.

Wow, now I am even more excited to see an article out of Israel from "Israel Today"! Thanks for that. As for the testing time, Zion stated in their Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 9, 2021 that testing would most likely take 4 to 6 weeks but also dependent on what type of testing is to be done.
I do know from other sources that it can be just days to approx 8 weeks.
Here is a link for the Shareholders meeting, "Episode 18".

Thanks again for the encouraging reply!

Thank You KyOil.
I was figuring anywhere from days to 6 weeks.
I really do appreciate you and Many Others on this forum!

So, I have been in contact with "Israel Today" an online publication for quite a while. They are going to publish an article about Zion and asked me how long testing will take. I have an idea, but would sure like to hear from KyOil about this.
Thanks in advance KyOil
My recent contacts with them are available on another site.

It's near Bet She'an.

THE MAN IN THE ARENA

"It's not the critic who counts; not the man who points out the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, who's face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasm, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails with daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt
April 23rd, 1910

Haven't posted here in ages, but I do still read many of your posts and have shared some on Stocktwits. I know I have read they have to pack up after drilling not 30 days prior to license expire. Sharing a few of the links I have read through. The Duty to Explore is from the first link.

is granted and shall continue the same with due
diligence as long as the licence is in force.

Update for Holders of Zion Oil & Gas (OTCMKTS: ZNOG)
https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/jv74sg/update_for_holders_of_zion_oil_gas_otcmkts_znog/

There used to be a lot of excitement on this board between a few people who hardly ever post anymore. I don't post much here myself because of restrictions. Have you moved onto other boards?
Now is the time to be excited.
The first of 85 loads are expected to arrive at our drilling site on November 15 since deliveries of equipment are not allowed during Shabbat.
Our experienced rig crew has been released from quarantine and is preparing for the arrival of the rig and equipment. Assembly of the rig will begin as the deliveries arrive.

From the article: The above estimates are subject to change. Subject to the
qualifications specified below, management believes that our existing cash
balance, coupled with anticipated proceeds under the DSPP, will be sufficient to
finance our plan of operations through November 2021.

Where is the ship?
General Cargo BBC BANGKOK is currently located at EMED - East Mediterranean at position 35° 3' 38.736" N, 29° 17' 2.796" E as reported by MarineTraffic Terrestrial Automatic Identification System on 2020-11-10 07:27 UTC (5 hours, 31 minutes ago)
The wind in this area at that time blows from Northeast direction at force 2 Beaufort.

Where is this vessel going to?
The vessel departed from CONSTANTA, RO on 2020-11-07 09:04 LT (UTC +2) and is currently sailing at 11.2 knots with Southeast direction heading to HAIFA, IL with reported Estimated Time of Arrival at 2020-11-11 15:00 LT (UTC +2) local time (in 1 day )

The Ship is ONE DAY AWAY!

Press Release is out.
https://mailchi.mp/zionoil/zion-oil-gas-drilling-rig-loaded-on-ship-and-en-route-to-israel?e=05f08877b1

11-3-2020 ZNOG closed at .45 cents. Must be a sign. Go TRUMP.

At anchor still off shore.

I think she got to Constanta pretty quick. It did pass a lot of ships along the way. I know because I peaked once in a while. Now to load her up and Head to Haifa.

The ship is on the move to Constanta and seems to be making good time.
https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:364895/zoom:10

The ship went from 5.6 Draught to it's current 4.5 and a new course is set for Constanta, Romania to pick up our drilling rig.
https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:364895/mmsi:305512000/imo:9437165/vessel:BBC_BANGKOK

The announcement from 10-28-20 was not a PR. It did not go out everywhere it was an update. You can check their website to confirm. I believe if it would have been a PR it would have generated a lot more support.

For those that want to track her. The link from Zion was not so good. She sure is Pretty.

From Yahoo Message Board: ALAN: I just called Zion Oil. The fellow I spoke to said he was not at liberty to discuss any details of the rig status but said he was “looking forward to an update soon.”

Last time. Thanks to @Cowboy77 and @Jmassie2 at Stocktwits for pointing out the July 30th PR does say, "The importation of Zion’s drilling rig has been delayed due to the uncertainties of Covid-19 and, as a result, severely restricted visa issuance within Israel for Zion’s rig crews. During the pandemic-related delays, Zion also has been working simultaneously with customs authorities and shipping agents to deal with all of the logistical issues posed by transporting approximately 150 truckloads of rig and related equipment to the port of Constanta, Romania for importation into Israel."
The mind can be like a steel trap, sometimes it's rusty and needs a little oil and in this case another look. I remember saying I saw it somewhere. Led to believe it was 3rd party and it wasn't. It's in the PR from Zion. Therefore I am back to the original Intrepid Eagle ship as our ship. Like I also said why cross a border to ship? 2 days and 20 hours till it arrives at Haifa port.
