let me explain the holiday schedule problem within the limitations of this board
zn has already posted that in the 16000 ft and deeper zone that it takes 4 days roundtrip for the drilling pipe to be removed to retrieve the packer at end of its short 4-5 day life and replace w a new packer
zn leases the drill pad from a religious kibbutz which strictly observes sabbaths -to the extent that zn doesnt even run the pumps to circulate the drilling mud-this may be a condition of zn's contract w the lessor kibbutz!!!!!!!
besides the weekly sabbath there are 7 high sabbaths during the year- 4 of them are during the fall high holy days - rosh hashanah, yom kippur plus the 1st and 7th or 8th day of sukkot(tabernacles)are high sabbaths,being
sept 10-11 monday /tuesday, sept 18 tuesday,and ca sept 24 1st full day of sukkot and ca oct 1
would have to look up a jewish calendar to verify exactness which is not in front of me
do the math and the logic -a lot of things are answered via simple logic-a lost art
between regular sabbaths they have 4 or 5 days(if they work sunday) to do something
none of the high sabbaths coincide w the regular sabbaths -by jewish law they arent allowed to!!- a high sabbath cannot be on the same day as a regular sabbath!!
so with all the 4 high sabbaths on mon tues wed or thur you have to start using a 3 dimensional calculator-taking into consideration the 4 day round trip to get in and out of the well-to see if u could actually get something done-NOT efficiently!
SO ZN SAVES MONEY by temporarily halting actual drilling/testing operations
that doesnt mean zn isnt doing anything-they can analyze,plan,do logistics and the reflection part of the praxis during this time-something that normally occurs in any operation that doesnt have offset wells to learn from
i just posted re this within the last few days from a previous years zn pr re this same fall high holy days schedule where zn's pr noted they observed such holidays
so THIS IS NOTHING NEW AND NOT SURPRISING to those who follow the dd
Imo. Do your dd before investing. I'm not a financial adviser nor compensated for my posts. They don't believe what they say, so why should you?
