Zion Oil and Gas Inc (QX) (ZNOG)

No demand for the stock. No support at all. Pretty much just a lot of sales. We need positive information from the company to get the buyers interested again.

Until then the downwards pressure will continue.

Once again, we're in a holding pattern.

What happened

<< the prophecy of the oil of Israel will be fulfilled. >>

Personally, I think that John Brown's interpretations of specific verses in the Bible are distorted and incorrect.

Here is an SEC filing that contains his interpretations.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1131312/000113131206000077/vision.htm

For example, Mr. Brown (incorrectly) translates the Hebrew word for plant-derived oils (like olive oil) or fat (shemen)(H8081) to crude oil. There is no evidence for that at all. That word shows up about 193 times in the Old Testament, and it always means the same thing.

Are you talking about Deuteronomy 33:13-16?

The one the whole company is based on. Did you ever get the introductory packet? If not, order it from zion. It's available free on their website.

Thanks for the response. Which prophecy?

Faith that: That the prophecy of the oil of Israel will be fulfilled.

The very thing we've been working towards all these years.

Have to be honest, never thought we'd see $.42 or lower again.

Down 60% since our new 5 year high at $.69. How come it always goes down faster then when it goes up? Was so close to showing a profit for the first time in 20 years.

Just a little bit more would have made it more fun. Just to see my ZNOG account go green one time

Anybody else having Deja Vu? This is when it's really tough to remain in faith! 🙏

The stock price action is bringing back so many bad memories from the past. Like someone already knows something that we should know. We're always the the last ones to know. I do not believe I can take another dry well experience. Would love to hear that we have had more gas encounters to the surface, but I do not believe they will be telling us anything for a while.

We may have to experience more pain before Zion finally get's around to letting us know what's going on at the site.

I think we are probably still in Phase Two
Drill just under 985 meters of 8 1/2 inch deviated open hole with cementing.
ASM BASED DATES: June 17 - July 01 (2 weeks)
NEW June 10 PR DATES: June 25 – July 09 (2 weeks)

Phase Two will finish up within the next 8 days and then we will be free to drill through the pay zones.

Phase Three: Phase Three should be starting within next 8 days.
Drill 915 meters of 6 inch open hole horizontally through what geologists believe are the pay zones with cementing.
ASM BASED DATES: July 02 - July 16 (2 weeks)
NEW June 10 PR DATES: July 10 – July 24 (2 weeks)

Hey Zion, even the dogs get the scraps from the master's table.

Please update us as soon as you can and Thank You!

Thanks for another astute analysis ...

Thanks JRyan, looking great so far!

Warrants day, 10% drop.

Hmm

Well the last thing I want is to drive traffic to iHub.

Agreed

When we look at the June 10, 2026, Press Release, it appears we have now commenced Phase Two of a 4 Phase operation. The June 10th press release was primarily issued to "START THE CLOCK" and to notify us that all necessary equipment was on-site. This interpretation of our Phased Schedule pushes us out 8 days.
Still believe a discovery PR could come any time in the last three weeks of July.

Press Release: Zion Oil & Gas Announces Commencement of MJ-02 Sidetrack Operations - June 10, 2026

Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (OTC: ZNOG) is pleased to announce that field operations have commenced for the planned sidetrack phase of the Megiddo-Jezreel #2 well in Israel. As expected, 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.

Phase One: Phase One should be completed by now.
Clean out MJ02 and install Whipstock.
ASM BASED DATES: June 2 - June 16 (2 weeks)
NEW June 10 PR DATES: June 10 - June 24


Press Release: Zion Oil & Gas Announces Commencement of MJ-02 Sidetrack Operations - June 10, 2026 (cont.)

We are thankful to report that this next phase of work is now underway,” said Zion Oil & Gas Chairman/CEO Robert Dunn. “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.

Phase Two: Phase Two should be in progress or at least starting.
Drill just under 1000 meters of 8 1/2 inch deviated open hole with cementing.
ASM BASED DATES: June 17 - July 01 (2 weeks)
NEW June 10 PR DATES: June 25 – July 09 (2 weeks)

Phase Three: Phase Three should be starting in 2 weeks or less.
Drill just over 900 meters of 6 inch open hole horizontally through what geologists believe are the pay zones with cementing.
ASM BASED DATES: July 02 - July 16 (2 weeks)
NEW June 10 PR DATES: July 10 – July 24 (2 weeks)

Phase Two and Three have the wild card that as of the ASM, they were waiting for directional equipment and materials to come off a boat and be transported to site.
UPDATE: Considering the June 10 Press Release, we can assume that the directional equipment and materials came off the boat and have been transported to the site.

Zion Oil & Gas Update: May 15, 2026

The directional equipment is currently scheduled to arrive in Israel the first week of June. Once that equipment is in place and ready for operations, our planned horizontal drilling is expected to commence in short order as conditions and logistics allow.”


Phase Four:
Stimulate and Flow test 10 possible zones said to take 10 days.
ASM BASED DATES: July 11 - July 25 (2 weeks)
NEW June 10 PR DATES: July 25 - Aug 08 (2 weeks)

Phase Four requires some contracts yet to be agreed upon so it’s a wild card depending on when the contractors are available and if they want to work in Israel due to ongoing hostilities. This is where we tell how much we can produce and how much is believed to be in the reservoir(s).

PHASE FOUR IS NOT REQUIRED TO ANNOUNCE A HYDROCARBON DISCOVERY.

Found this posted in another location. This is close to what we can expect with respect to a discovery announcement if Zion should discover gas/oil during the horizontal drilling. It is not required that it be stimulated and flowback tested first.

US Firm Murphy Oil Corporation Finds Oil Field off the Ivory Coast

As you listen, please notice that Murphy has yet to perform any stimulation or flowback testing to provide a size of the reservoir that they have discovered, yet they are able to announce confidently that they have a commercial discovery.

This would be equivalent to Zion announcing that they have a discovery after completing Phase Three mentioned in previous post and shown below. Size would not be included in this announcement but a P90, P50 and/or P10 could be included.

Phase one:
Clean out MJ02 and install Whipstock.
June 2 - June 16 (2 weeks)

Phase two:
Drill just over 1000 meters deviated 8 1/2 inch with cementing.
June 17 - July 01 (2 weeks)

Phase three:
Drill just over 900 meters horizontal through what geology believes are the pay zones with cementing.
July 02 - July 16 (2 weeks)

Phase Four:
Stimulate and Flowtest 10 possible zones said to take 10 days.
July 17 - July 29 (2 weeks)


I would estimate that we could hear something from Zion anywhere in the last three weeks of July. This is assuming everything is going smoothly at the site, the Directional equipment has arrived on-site from the boat, and we have horizontally drilled through actual pay zones.

We really need an Operational Update to provide a status as to where we are since the ASM and to bring us up to date with respect to contracting the stimulation and flowback testing to the well.

They did mention that they were waiting to start drilling before contracting for those services. They may be waiting to be sure they have something to test. I think it would be bullish to find out that they have contracted the stimulation and flowback testing services.

Gonna put out a bigger post but after going through the January 14th Operational Update and ASM Operational Update.

Summary:

Phase one:
Clean out MJ02 and install Whipstock.
June 2 - June 16 (2 weeks)

Phase two:
Drill just over 1000 meters deviated 8 1/2 inch with cementing.
June 17 - July 01 (2 weeks)

Phase three:
Drill just over 900 meters horizontal through what geology believes are the pay zones with cementing.
July 02 - July 16 (2 weeks)

Phase Four:
Stimulate and Flowtest 10 possible zones said to take 10 days.
July 17 - July 29 (2 weeks)

Phase Two and Three have the wild card that as of the ASM, they were waiting for directional equipment and materials to come off a boat and be transported to site.

Phase Four required some contracts yet to be agreed upon so its a wild card depending on when the contractors are available and if they want to work in Israel due to on going hostilities [the elephant wild card in the room].

The only way to address wild cards is if Zion gives an Operational Update.

Initially, transport will be "Shuttles" as mentioned by the CEO during the ASM. 😀

Look forward to your new offering. Very impressive.

I am working on a new hypothetical, I will share part of it.

Hey Zion,

My dream Operational Update would be that we are Horizontal Dilling with a picture of Flaring 🔥 at the site 😀.

Can you make that happen?

Signed Long Term Shareholder 🔥

IMHO, we are actively in PHASE 2 below, getting ready to begin PHASE 3 below. During the January 14 Operational Update, the COO gave a 2-week timeframe for PHASE 1 and PHASE 2 and reiterated that during the ASM.

It's been 3 weeks since the ASM when we were told we were starting drilling operations. We are probably getting the Well prepared for the horizontal drilling PHASE 3 below. PHASE 2 and PHASE 3 are the 2000 meters of drilling spoke of during the January 14 Operational Update.

It sure would be better if Zion would just provide an operational update rather than have to go through this exercise.

Whoever is watching the site, keep an eye out for flaring.

From the COO during the June 6th ASM. Blue Notes are mine.
What are we doing right now? We're rigging up over in MJ02, getting ready to open the well this week. There is a temporary plug and abandonment that we left off there in 2022, so we're going to clean that out. We've raised the substructure. Let's talk about what we're getting ready to do.
[PHASE 1 - Note: This is MJ02 Preparation]

So the remaining operations that we have for this year are pretty much commencing this week. We're going to plug and abandon MJ02 below the 2,700-meter mark.

We're going to run a whipstock. What is a whipstock? A whipstock is a plug that also acts as a wedge. It'll force the drill bit out the side of the casing.

So that is what we're going to use to open up a window that's going to allow for the deviated vertical directional drilling to start off, and that'll take us a couple of weeks to get all of that done. I do have the whipstock in country, which is good news.

So as soon as those directional tools arrive from the boat, we'll be able to get started on the directional side.

From there, we have just under 1,000 meters of 8 1/2-inch open hole. It's deviated, but primarily vertical drilling, which is going to get us down to the target zone depth. We'll have a casing and cementing operation once that's completed.
[PHASE 2 - Note: This is where the whipstock pushes the drill bit out the side of the MJ02 previously placed casing. This is a curved drilling effort starting at the original MJ02 vertical casing and ends where the horizontal drilling will begin.]

This will be followed by a little over 900 meters of horizontal drilling through the potential production zone, and that's with a six-inch open hole. We'll do a casing, and then part of the lower end completion is what's going to allow us to do the stimulation and flowback testing.
[PHASE 3 - Note: This is the horizontal drilling through the production zones.]

So all of that, the lower completion section is designed to minimize the equipment footprint, personnel, and cost, and still have a highly successful stimulation program. But we will cement the bottom section. We will tieback casing to surface. Probably will not cement the tieback casing in at this time. In case we need to make changes, we will be able to pull that casing out of the hole.
[PHASE 4 - Note: This is the 10 stages that need to be stimulated and flowback tested spoken about in the January 14 Operational Update. Each stage takes 24 to 36 hours, or at least 10 days of pure stimulation and flowback testing.]

So that's the drilling operation in a nutshell.

Once we're through the drilling and we have the lower section in place, then we'll begin a multi-stage stimulation and flowback program, which will take us probably through the end of the year.

Right now, everything is contracted, with the exception of the flowback and stimulation, and it's contract-- I've got everything in place. What we're waiting on is to lock in equipment dates. As soon as that gets locked in, then I'm subject to cancellation clauses, and that's the only reason why I haven't given them firm hard dates yet.

But we're looking late this summer that we should get that in. So as soon as we start the drilling operation, I will finalize the stimulation flowback and well testing contracts and get those put into place, and we're set through the completion of this operation. That's that.

You may be closer.

Re-watched ASM Operations portion. Mr. Ness stated the should be ready to start drilling the horizontal portion of the well after installation of the whipstock (pretty much a wedge to redirect drill out of wellbore) in 2 weeks from ASM.

It's been 3 weeks since the ASM. We did have to cement the deviation to stabilze. We could be horizontal drilling this week or next. If true, then they should be flaring off gases at the site if we are successful.

Figure 3 to 4 weeks from now.

sorry NOT my Opinion....i believe we hear something quickly.....1 to 3 weeks from now....will see

Remember in Jan- Mar, they did all the certification of the rig and set up over MJ 02 and then evacuated the site due to hostilities.

They got back on site in May/June and then held the ASM. It was after that they got back on-site to prep MJ02 for drilling. Mid-June (at best) restarted the clock.

We're still 1 to 2 months out as per the COO's statement during the January 14 update.

This is better then his statement made during the ASM, where he stated closer to late fall to the end of year

TtHIS ALMOST 6 MONTHS AGO.....hMMMMM.....imho.....THEY hit "all" TARGETS !!!!! that's "oil"......imho news is "eminent" !!!!!!!!!!! many...many dollars ARE coming ...............SHARE PRICE THAT IS

The first half, pretty much vertical, then straight horizontal followed by a multi-stage stimulation operation. So far, we've done only one stage at a time. ... This is going to be multi-stage up to 10 stages all in the same zone. So, we're going to try and exploit as much of the uh potential reservoir as possible. Um doing one stage right after another. Each stage will take between 24 and 36 hours.

So, it'll be like 10 straight days of non-stop stimulation followed by a flowback. So, a lot of stuff that Israel has never seen before once again [Here we go] is coming in. And we're excited. I mean, this is a good opportunity for us to really exploit the potential pay zone area for an extended period, you know, an extended distance as opposed to just a single uh open hole or case hole for that matter, 4 and a half inches, for example, on MJ2 and MJ1. Uh we're going to have we're going to have 900 meters of drilled hole through what we see, what the geologists see as the pay zone. So, good opportunity that if it's in one pocket and not in another, we're not going to miss it by just a short distance. You know, we're hoping to bisect the entire thing and looking forward to seeing what's truly there.

From the January 14, 2026 Update:

This is a full drilling operation, uh, similar to what we've done in the past. We have just about 2,000 meters of drilling to do.

The first half, pretty much vertical, then straight horizontal followed by a multi-stage stimulation operation. So far, we've done only one stage at a time. ...

There is a ton of information in the January 14 Update.

2000 meters total.
1100 meters vertical assuming this includes the bend for horizontal, or a vertical drilling depth of 3610 feet.
900 meters or 2953 feet of horizontal through what geologists believe is the pay zone.

We've got A COUPLE MONTHS of drilling and casing . We're going to drill in two sections. We'll have an 8-inch open hole section followed by a 6-inch open hole section. 8 in will be cased with seven-inch casing and 4-and-1/2-inch completion string. and then we'll be ready to move into the well testing phase. So, a lot of activities.

I am assuming the 8-inch section is the vertical section while the 6-inch section is the horizontal. A couple months of drilling and casing tells me we are still a good amount of time out from hearing much of anything with respect to drilling results. If drilling has begun as of last week, then we are looking at August when drilling and casing may be completed. Which implies we still have at least a full month of downward pressure on the stock unless we hear something positive from Zion Oil and Gas.

Coach's Corner pretty much explains it as it is.

This is where faith really supports us through these down pressure times. Without any positive news from Zion in the form of an Operational Update, we will see lower prices.

It would be excellent if Zion could release information on where we currently are with respect to what was forecasted in the January 14 Update.

Tisdal I noticed on the video at ASH meeting when Rob was asked the question how much
oil was down there, watching the room no heads were hanging no somber looks just smiles and giggles almost high fives and Robs responded enough to make us all happy!

I do not think anyone has been chased away.

This is a risky investment.

Investors are waiting to hear that horizontal has begun. That's when speculators will know it's time to take a position. Until then its low volume and charter's taking their positions for swings.

The longer it takes, the more down pressure we'll see.

Come on Zion, where are we?
Are we drilling sideways yet?

When asked "How much oil was down there?" The CEO said, " We will all be happy!"

Now we wait to see how happy.

We know someone has eyes on the site. If they start burning 🔥 off gases the stock will see a rise as we near the discovery.

I am definitely watching 👀 them

Or they woke up. Affinity scams are sneaky and pernicious, taking advantage of the religiously gullible in this case.
many have been chased away.

Its really a shame, many have been chased away.

Watch the WARRANTS due end of month.

Well a good day. Up no news.

I decided I will start an update on a regular basis of known facts, zion news, or markets concerns that directly effect ZNOG.

Did you know we changed exchanges in February?

ZNOG trades on the OTCQX Best Market — the top tier of the OTC markets — having upgraded from the OTCQB venture tier on February 10, 2026.

ZNOG has years of drilling "performances" 😆 🤣
Zion has re-entered the well

Thanks very helpful

LoL.....keep up your great work......love the buying op before the HUGE RUN to many...many dollars..................

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.

1 month or 6 months....where else are you going to make 5,000% plus on your money in that TIME ???? NO WHERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can wait for the RUN to many...many dollars per share................

Not quite sure where 4-5 months comes from. I count 12 weeks as a max, or 3 months. Maybe transitioning from one phase to the other adds time.

June (drilling) .. November (production)


Timeline for Horizontal Well Drilling

Drilling to Production
Horizontal wells generally take about 4-5 months from the start of drilling to the point of production. This timeline includes several phases:

Drilling Phase: This part can be completed in a matter of weeks, typically ranging from 2-4 weeks depending on the specific conditions and depth of the well.

Completion Phase: After drilling, the well undergoes completion, which can take an additional 1-3 weeks. This involves installing casing and preparing the well for production.

Fracturing Phase: If hydraulic fracturing is required, this can take 3-14 days.

Flowback & Testing: Following fracturing, the well will undergo flowback and testing for about 1-3 weeks before it enters production.
--------------------------------

Factors Affecting Timeline
Several factors can influence the overall timeline for drilling and production:

Equipment Availability: Delays can occur if there are shortages of drilling crews or equipment.

Site Conditions: Geological and environmental conditions can impact drilling speed and efficiency.

Regulatory Approvals: Necessary permits and approvals can also add time to the process.
------------------------------

Summary Table

Phase Duration

Drilling 2-4 weeks
Completion 1-3 weeks
Fracturing 3-14 days
Flowback & Testing 1-3 weeks

Total to Production 4-5 months

Drilling may start this week

Well, at least we're not down 😊

Market closed till Monday.

Zion oil - Friday - up?

JRyan

Just want to say thank you for honest and accurate information
My intuitive says "this is it!" Not just Israel, but nations

Today I keep having a strong calling to focus on the following:

But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?”

They answered Him, “No.”

And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.

Now we're casting our net to the right of MJ02 as we've not been successful in our previous attempts. All depictions show a horizontal drilled from left to right.

It's a big net cast on faith. I have a strong impression that like that net with fish, we will have to work hard due to the multitude of oil and gas we catch within our horizontal net.

As with the fish of the sea, all the reserves of the Earth are under His command.

Prophecy starts at Time stamp 5:10 at Time stamp 5:47 it clearly states to the right
