Zion Oil & Gas Inc (ZNOG)

[Shouldbe]

What I am still a little confused on is what causes the 7500 psi at the bottom of the well bore?

Some people are saying it’s hydrostatic pressure of salt water. I don’t understand that as I would have thought there would be many layers of impermeable rock over the 3 miles such that you could not have a 3 mile water column within the rock structure. (Not talking about the well itself).

Or is the trapped oil and gas at 7500 psi in its formation due to when it was initially formed a long time ago and it’s just wanting to ooze out under its own trapped pressure, nothing to do with water or liquid overburden pressure.

Just trying to get a better understanding.
