So, finally we are updated on actual 3d permitting etc progress in the field and with Israel ministry
1)contracted with contractor for permitting activities in the field: "Zion has now formalized the scope and performance of that work with a signed agreement with Zion's contractor as of July 1, 2019."
Actual permitting activities are taking place in the fields/land where the survey will take place
states/governments reserve the rights to subsurface which then yields the power of the state to force landowners to comply with surface activities required for such,but landowners must be made whole for any damages-so the prospective damages (probably mainly to crops or irrigation pipes-but damage to crops will be minimized as most fields will be fallow during the dry later spring/summer actual survey by the vibrating trucks) are being assessed with landowners
2) zn has confirmed via PR/filing that the survey area will be 72 sq kilometers- the map in the email they sent everybody who signed up for emails -shows what looks like a square survey area or very close to a square-cant tell for sure- this may be the most efficient way to survey-and from articles i've read the larger the surface area, the deeper the survey results/pinging underground-which may be especially important since all of their exploratory well (td of 16600 ft or 5060 meters) oil shows were deeper than 15500 feet.
3) binding agreements for 3-D seismic landowner permitting services and for consulting services in connection with the required approvals from the Israel Ministries of Transportation and Communication for importation of the seismic equipment-this isnt done everyday onshore israel,so zn has been one of the pioneers for such work onshore israel
4)ex ceo and drilling specialist Mr Guinn brought in his long time acquaintance /friend Mr Dunn from Viking to do the COO work for the 3d survey
"We are enthusiastic about the progress we have made to date with the 3-D program permitting process and other required approvals," stated Zion's COO, Robert Dunn.
5)LEGAL UPDATE
''In both the shareholder class action litigation in federal district court in Dallas, Texas'',[where zions motion for summary judgment was filed ca Mar 13] and in the consolidated derivative litigation in federal district court in Delaware, Zion, through its attorneys, has filed Motions to Dismiss all litigation, which Motions are now under consideration by the respective courts.''
Unless the plaintiffs suing zn have added items of substance to their complaints, zn's motion to dismiss the cases [essentially as being frivolous] has a good chance of being approved,for plaintiffs at least in dallas are trying to retroactively and substantively imo change the law of notice- i've addressed this before
Zion Oil & Gas Enters into Binding Agreements in Israel
DALLAS and CAESAREA, Israel, July 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZN) announces it has entered into binding agreements for 3-D seismic landowner permitting services and for consulting services in connection with the required approvals from the Israel Ministries of Transportation and Communication for importation of the seismic equipment.
"The biblically inspired vision of Zion Oil & Gas remains to discover oil and gas onshore in Israel," Zion's CEO, John Brown said. "Our planned 3-D seismic program demonstrates Zion's long-term commitment to our dedicated shareholders and to the citizens of Israel."
"We are enthusiastic about the progress we have made to date with the 3-D program permitting process and other required approvals," stated Zion's COO, Robert Dunn.
AGREEMENTS AND UPDATE ON 3-D SEISMIC PROJECT
Although Zion's permitting contractor began preliminary work on the 3-D landowner permitting process several weeks ago, Zion has now formalized the scope and performance of that work with a signed agreement with Zion's contractor as of July 1, 2019.

The contractor has begun obtaining necessary infrastructure permits, acquiring accurate landowner identification for the seismic area and meeting with landowners and authorities. Zion reports this typically is a time-intensive but very important stage of the project because it creates a survey of the program area, which is a prerequisite for mobilization of the seismic acquisition contractor.
In parallel with the permitting process in the license area, Zion is utilizing the services of consultants to work with the Ministries of Transportation and Communication to obtain the necessary permits for importation of the seismic source vehicles and equipment from Europe.
"The Zion Israel team is pleased with the progress made so far on our 3D program permitting process," reiterated Zion's managing director and VP in Israel, Jeff Moskowitz. "This is a vital step as we move forward with our exploration plans."
LEGAL UPDATE
In both the shareholder class action litigation in federal district court in Dallas, Texas, and in the consolidated derivative litigation in federal district court in Delaware, Zion, through its attorneys, has filed Motions to Dismiss all litigation, which Motions are now under consideration by the respective courts.
Zion Oil & Gas, a public company traded on NASDAQ (ZN), explores for oil and gas onshore in Israel currently on their 99,000-acre Megiddo-Jezreel license area.
"The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
Deuteronomy 31:8
"Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you."
Isaiah 12:5-6
