A summary of what Zion believes to be some key questions left to be answered are:
1. Is the missing shallow Senonian age source rock a result of regional erosion, or is it missing because of a fault that cut the well-bore and could be reasonably expected to be encountered in the vicinity of the MJ#1 drill site? Zion believes this is an important question to answer because if the Senonian source rocks do exist in this area, the high temperatures encountered are sufficient to mature these source rocks and generate oil.
2. Do the unusually high shallow subsurface temperatures extend regionally beyond the MJ#1 well, which could allow for the generation of hydrocarbons in the Senonian age source rock within our license area?
3. As a consequence of seismic remapping, where does the MJ#1 well lie relative to the potential traps at the Jurassic and Triassic levels, and was the well location too low on the structures and deeper than the potential hydrocarbons within those traps?
Zion commenced the data acquisition portion on the 3-D survey area consisting of 72 square kilometers focused on the eastern portion of the Megiddo-Jezreel license. Acoustic Geophysical Services (“AGS”), our geophysical contractor, completed mobilization in late August in which the seismic equipment was moved on location and testing completed. In mid-September 2019 all parameter selections were approved. Following parameter selection, AGS began its seismic production activities on September 25, 2019. Approximately 50% of the survey was completed by September 30, 2019. The remaining 50% of the survey was completed in mid-October.
Zion has engaged Agile Seismic Processing Services (“ASPS”), with offices located in Houston, Texas and Belgrade, Serbia, to handle the seismic data processing and interpretation services. The geophysical dataset, which was delivered to ASPS in late October 2019, will be processed using enhanced technologies.
Zion received a multi-year license extension through December 2, 2020.
