Zion Oil & Gas Inc (ZNOG)

[mrbojangle]

I have been debating whether or not to publish this information that I have, but I feel that it is appropriate to share given all that everyone in this community has shared over the years.

In 2018, during the MJ01 well effort, I made contact with an individual within the Israeli Ministry of Energy. I made a simple inquiry: had Zion Oil & Gas submitted an Application of Commercial Discovery as required in the event of a commercial discovery (KyOil outlined this requirement in a recent post)?

This is the 2018 email thread, redacted, but provided as proof that what I claim is true.







If I managed to upload these images correctly, you can see that I made 3 inquiries of my contact, and all three times I received a definitive reply that the ministry had not received a Commercial Discovery Application from ZN

Fast forward to MJ02 and I reached out to my contact in the Ministry of Energy in March 2022 asking if they had received a Commercial Discovery Application from ZNOG. Again I received a definitive reply that they had not received an application from ZNOG.

A month later, I sent one more request asking if an application had been submitted. This time, I received a different response, as I was instructed to write to the company regarding such information, rather than the definitive reply I had previously received both in 2018 & again in March 2022. No definitive denial. And this reply came after ZNOG's meetings with the Israeli government.
Here are the redacted 2022 emails:





Given that these email exchanges were with the same person over the last 4 years, I believe this indicates that ZNOG has submitted an Application of Commercial Discovery. (In the post preview, it appears the emails are somewhat jumbled, but generally read from the bottom up for the sequence of the emails)

Please do not bombard the Ministry of Energy with requests as it appears all inquiries will be directed to ZNOG at this point. And do your own DD.
