As a result of these unanswered questions and with the information gained drilling the MJ#1 well, Zion believed it was prudent and consistent with good industry practice to try and answer some of these questions with a focused 3-D seismic imaging shoot of approximately 72 square kilometers surrounding the MJ#1 well. Zion has completed all of the acquisition, processing and interpretation of the 3-D data and has incorporated its expanded knowledge base into the drilling of our current MJ-02 exploratory well (see further details below).
Zion’s geology team is continuing on a larger interpretation of 3D areas, along with potential exploration locations located in the western portion of the NML 428 area.
Megiddo-Jezreel Petroleum License, No. 401 (“MJL 401”) and New Megiddo License 428 (“NML 428”)
The Megiddo-Jezreel License 401 was awarded on December 3, 2013 for a three-year primary term through December 2, 2016 with the possibility of additional one-year extensions up to a maximum of seven years. The Megiddo-Jezreel License 401 lies onshore, south and west of the Sea of Galilee, and we continue our exploration focus here as it appears to possess the key geologic ingredients of an active petroleum system with significant exploration potential.
The NML 428 was awarded on December 3, 2020 for a six-month term with the possibility of an additional six-month extension. This license effectively replaced the Megiddo-Jezreel License 401 as it has the same area and coordinates.
The MJ-02 drilling plan was approved by the Ministry of Energy on July 29, 2020. On January 6, 2021, Zion officially spudded its MJ-02 exploratory well. Zion plans to reach a total depth of approximately 5,800 meters (~19,024 feet) and the drilling is expected to take approximately 150 days.
As of the date of this report, our drilling of the MJ-02 well is continuing as planned.
