bashers take language of no oil in shallower zones to paint a brush on the entire well- truth is not their goal and they are not deterred by the truth which they have already rejected in the natural and the non-natural
inferences that zn lied in the feb 2018 pr's re the presence of oil [in the triassic zone] and then said 9 nine months later there was no oil is wrong and misleading in at least 2 respects
the feb 2018 pr's and the 8k's and 10q's which discuss the well-i just posted the aug 17 8k of the aug 16 pr- point out there was oil in the triassic zones -the lowest part of the well
those zones were tested BEFORE the disclosure which you now refer to-"Jurassic and Cretaceous-age Formations" which after being tested show no hydrocarbons
the implication that there were no hydrocarbons in the well and that zn lied about that is totally misleading
get it? upper levels referenced by the disclosure which you conveniently didnt give access to-no oil
lower levels had oil but not enough to be commercially productive
the lower levels were already tested and reported as having oil which is why the lower levels-triassic- were not mentioned in the disclosure to which you refer without giving the cite-hoping i wouldnt find it
none of the levels below include the triassic- which is made perfectly clear; "within the Jurassic and Cretaceous"
i just provided the depth in km -showing the bottom of the well-where the oil was found-reached 5km- 5060 meters
zn has said the triassic started either below 3500 or 4000 meters-i'm not going to look that up right now bc the point has been sufficiently made!!!
the ff was a later doc re shallow zones of the well
Item 8.01 Other Events
Zion Oil and Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which has an active petroleum exploration license onshore Israel, the Megiddo-Jezreel License (“MJL”), comprising approximately 99,000 acres, announces that it has completed the testing program of its primary zones located within the Jurassic and Cretaceous-age Formations of the Megiddo-Jezreel #1 (MJ #1) well. As a result of the testing, Zion has determined that the well is not commercially productive.
Zion’s Chief Executive Officer, Dustin Guinn commented, “Unlike the lower Triassic zones, two of the multiple zones we tested within the Middle Jurassic and Cretaceous had sufficient permeability and porosity to flow to surface, as outlined below:
1. Zone 1:
a. 3,468-3,461 meters would not flow naturally to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained while swabbing indicated high chloride brine.
2. Zone 2:
a. 3,455-3,446 meters would not flow naturally to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained while swabbing indicated high chloride brine.
3. Zone 3:
a. 3,325-3,310 meters would not flow naturally to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained while swabbing indicated high chloride brine.
4. Zone 4;
a. 1,784-1,775 meters flowed naturally and continuously to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained from monitoring samples taken while the well was flowing indicated low chloride water.
5. Zone 5:
a. 1,232.5–1,228 meters flowed naturally and continuously to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained from monitoring samples taken while the well was flowing indicated low chloride water.
The fluid did not contain hydrocarbons, and further testing at this time is not warranted. Zion is currently in discussions with the Israeli government on plugging obligations. Given the thermal gradient, flow rates, surface pressure and low salinity, certain ministries within the Israeli government have made requests of Zion concerning the use of the well as a water monitoring well. Zion will review the economic impact and obligations as a result of this request to determine a prudent plugging plan.
While the well was not commercially viable, Zion has learned a great deal from the drilling and testing of this well. We refer to our previous press release and operational update of August 16 th , 2018 where we outlined our testing objectives relating to this well. We believe that the drilling and testing of this well carried out the testing objectives we previously outlined and may support further evaluation and potential further exploration efforts within our License area. Those efforts will obviously take time and support and additional financial resources, which we will need to raise, but we are confident that it will be time and resources well spent to deliver on Zion’s mission and the vision of supporting Israel.
Management, along with all of our staff, want to sincerely thank you for your continued support. There is much left to do, and it is an honor to represent our shareholders in this mission.”
