DALLAS and CAESAREA, Israel, Aug.
9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (NASDAQ:
ZN) continues active drilling operations at its
Megiddo-Jezreel #1 well in Israel. As of today, we have
reached a depth of approximately 5,850 feet (~1,785 meters) toward
a proposed total depth of up to ~15,000 feet.
Zion's President and COO, Dustin
Guinn, says, "I am encouraged by the results so far. Since
our last update, Zion finished drilling through the intermediate
casing interval at 1,665 meters. After running wireline logs
and analyzing the data, we obtained over 20 sidewall cores from
different zones within the well that spanned approximately 800
meters (~2,625 feet). The Geologic Survey of Israel is analyzing several of the cores for
porosity, permeability, and other factors. After retrieving
the cores, we proceeded to successfully case and cement the 13-3/8"
casing string. Because this is an exploration well, it continually
presents surprises, but overall, we are excited about the progress
and prayerfully continue drilling ahead."
