Zion Oil and Gas, Inc., a Texas corporation, which has an active petroleum exploration operation onshore Israel under its Megiddo Valleys License 434 of approximately 75,000 acres in the Megiddo-Jezreel area, announces that field operations have commenced for the planned sidetrack phase of the Megiddo-Jezreel #2 well in Israel. Zion has re-entered the well and is currently in the process of drilling out the temporary plug. Following this step, the team will condition the wellbore downhole and proceed with the planned horizontal sidetrack drilling.

 

Zion Oil & Gas Chairman/CEO, Robert Dunn said that. “Our team has safely re-entered the well, and we are moving carefully through the required steps that prepare us for the planned sidetrack drilling. We remain focused on executing the approved work plan safely, efficiently, and with gratitude for the opportunity before us.” Zion is also pleased to report that its drilling rig has been re-certified and recommissioned in accordance with regulatory requirements, and as a fitting tribute, the rig has officially been renamed JB-1 in honor of Zion’s Founder, John Brown. John’s vision, faith, and perseverance established Zion’s mission of exploring for oil and gas onshore in Israel, and the Company is grateful to honor his legacy as this important phase of operations begins.
