DocBlkAdr - I don’t know the actual miles but is isn’t far in geological terms as Israel is a small country. Believe me, there is oil in the vicinity where they are drilling. (Smile).
Distance to an existing gas pipeline is more important. A gas pipeline connection to your well will run about $7 million per mile in Israel. That means you need to be pretty darn close to a gas pipeline before a $20 to $25 million dollar gas well becomes economical.
In spite of the name "AND GAS", ZNOG needs to hit oil, which can be transported by truck, not gas.
