👍. Yes! Gullible s. Stop being gullible. As I have conveyed .. something just doesn't seem totally right.. and I had not found ZNOG but 2-3 months ago. I don't have half the knowledge base on ZN as Homebrew ..and I now see others showing up with wisdom, fortitude and some background. Audience. Again. Listen. The first time I saw ZNOG.. 3 initial ... basic things drew me in. 1) They more/less purported upholding and benefiting God's chosen .. Israel. Check. 2) They were openly, publicly displaying Scripture. Bold. Impressive (for those who care). That is something I know of no other stock company braving it and doing that. Check. 3) They really tout and elevate Israel.. which they should, so I loved it, because I love Israel. Then at one point after reading their carefully "chosen" Scriptures... I revisited articles conveying how in so many words they are or were "best buds" with Israel ...either their gov't or ministry, something or some entity there of importance. -- But the article also included that the drill site was old & has been deemed defunct or worthless (not exact words but to that effect) and pretty much said to ZN .. "have at it". -- To all: DD!! Reread older articles again with a different lens, and dig. Please don't just look at news and technicals.

Lawyers at ZNOG write the PRs in such a way that is truthful, yet misleads. So it would be hard for the FBI to shut them down, and throw anyone in jail.
As for my claim that the PRs are truthful yet misleading, a case in point is their latest PR, which should have been absolutely devastating news to the stockholders (they destroyed the bottom half of the well where a little bit of oil was previously found), yet, the stockholders couldn't be happier.
Recently, they even told you the casing at MJ#1 was in very bad shape, and very hard to re-work. Probably bad shape due to 7 years of rusting steel casing exposed to the salt water aquafer's they drilled through. Damaged beyond repair? So much for the "re-completion".
So with them revealing everything to you, it's on you if you invest and lose. There is no recourse. All has been truthfully disclosed. In this world, senior management and staff are guiltless.
Just a few years ago, do you remember voting on an issue where stockholders can no longer sue individual officers of the company? You can only sue the company, you can't list the officers and senior management names separately on any lawsuit filed. The term eyes wide shut come to mind.

TY kindly. Never bashing. Pro Israel. Not necessarily pro ZNOG. That is how we are different, I posted peoples experiences and made me sad to find. You view them as bashers. I was displaying both sides of the fence, as you took me as (not sure what). I said all along something up to this point hadn't seemed right (to me). When I saw others experiences it made me sad. I just don't believe in sticking my head in the sand, and at this time I am simply watchful and open, looking for ZNOG to prove otherwise. My concern was they quote Scripture (which impressed me) but for some reason to my discernment something didn't feel right. That's on me. And my right. You seem to omit & eliminate i also conveyed I would be happy to be wrong. Ironically, even before I stumbled on the "unfavorable" posts, I was thinking... "what if and could it be possible if people in ZNOG were "using" Scripture to suck people in who love Scripture. A horrible thought .. literally then I found those posts and was aghast. But to flat state that those people's posts are bogus and negative is foolish. Those people's experience (may)... be true. How do you know. That is why I put the good and discouraging. Not means no to confuse or my position. The discouraging may be a true experience. Time will tell. I thought people were more open to hearing all sides AND keep it in the back of the mind that it WAS someone's experience. I didn't find those posts negative. I found them telling and worth considering. Someday all the dots will be connected. Until then, facts matter, ZNOG progress matters more than we do. Israel matters. God bless. And thanks much. Time to move forward. I thank you again and respect that's how you feel. Np. Very much appreciated the recent display
of info and outlook. We shall see. -- OH! And to the person who sent me a private message to me that read "Idiot". You had me rolling on the floor laughing. I'm keeping it for awhile in case I need a lift and a laugh. Some people. No class. --- Enough. Onward from here.

What do you think this means?
"After careful engineering evaluations, we have chosen to pivot from the planned fishing operation, focusing on the larger upper zones. Technical challenges with the deep 4.5” casing section prompted us to pursue an alternative solution that prioritizes the well’s long-term potential and viability." (Dec 10th 2024 update).
I suspect it means they are abandoning the bottom half of the well, plugging and sealing it off with the stuck drill string in place, and only going to test the upper half of the well.
Since you already know the upper half of the well doesn't have a drop of oil (I can repost the link to the Israel Ministry water quality report for MJ#1 if you like, it extensively evaluated every drop of fluids for the first 2000+ feet), well, you can pay a few million in salaries for them to look, and you'll see the obvious results in about 7 or 8 months.
And fracking the upper zones? Look at the abstract on the water quality report!

Googled some of the information From the update.
the necessary stimulation, well testing, and nitrogen equipment
In the context of fracking, "necessary stimulation, well testing, and nitrogen equipment" refers to the tools and processes used to increase the flow of oil and gas from a well by creating fractures in the rock formation through high-pressure fluid injection, which includes pre-fracking well testing to assess reservoir conditions, and sometimes utilizing nitrogen gas injection to further enhance fluid recovery after the fracking process is complete.
Key points about this aspect of fracking:
Stimulation:
This is the primary purpose of fracking, where a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals is pumped into the well under high pressure to create cracks in the rock formation, allowing trapped oil and gas to flow more readily.
Well Testing:
Before fracking, pressure tests are conducted to evaluate the reservoir characteristics and determine the optimal fracking parameters.
Nitrogen Equipment:
Nitrogen gas can be used in several ways during fracking, including:
Energized Fracking: Mixing nitrogen with the fracking fluid to increase its pressure and improve fracture propagation.
Nitrogen Lifting: Injecting nitrogen into a well after fracking to displace trapped liquids and improve production flow.
setting a bottom plug, and installing a swell plug, which is an essential step to isolate the targeted zone of interest. Once the plug has properly set, we will run in hole with the stimulation equipment, stimulate the zones, and initiate flowback operations.
This process describes the initial stage of a well stimulation operation where, by "setting a bottom plug" and "installing a swell plug," a specific section of the wellbore is isolated to be targeted for stimulation, allowing for focused treatment and preventing fluid from flowing into unwanted zones; once the plugs are set, stimulation equipment is lowered into the well to activate the targeted area, followed by the release of the stimulated fluids during "flowback operations.".
Key points:
Bottom plug:
A physical barrier placed at the bottom of the desired stimulation zone, acting as a seal to prevent fluid from flowing below that point.
Swell plug:
A special type of plug that expands when exposed to the downhole environment, creating a tight seal to isolate the zone of interest.
Stimulation equipment:
Tools used to induce fractures in the rock formation, typically involving high pressure fluid injections to enhance oil or gas production.
Flowback operations:
Once the stimulation is complete, the process of allowing the treated fluids and produced hydrocarbons to flow back to the surface.
Overall process:
1. Setting the bottom plug:
A bottom plug is lowered into the well and positioned at the desired depth, where it is then set to create a seal.
2. Installing the swell plug:
Above the bottom plug, a swell plug is deployed and positioned within the wellbore, allowing it to expand and firmly seal the targeted zone.
3. Stimulation phase:
After verifying the plugs are properly set, stimulation equipment is run into the well and used to stimulate the isolated zone.
4. Flowback:
Once stimulation is complete, the well is allowed to flow back, allowing the treated fluids and produced hydrocarbons to return to the surface.
Would an oil company go through the fracturing process unless they thought oil was there?
No, an oil company would not go through the trouble and expense of fracturing an oil well unless they had strong geological evidence and data indicating a significant likelihood of oil being present at that location; fracking is a costly process, so companies only undertake it when they believe there is a high chance of recovering a profitable amount of oil.

To iRisky, with respect, I reject your pomp. The Lord gives wisdom to those who ask without finding fault. I call you out. You've resorted to direct name calling. Humerous. But I say, and what I've said.. and conferred is to proceed with caution ..and pray. What I've said all along is "I can't put my finger on it" and have admitted so. I have not jostled or taunted anyone's take or choice. I am digging for truth. The H.S. gives discernment. I have been open to all opinions, have to, .. but not paying attention to insulators. That is expected on a stock forum. It's the nature of the beast. It is of no effect to me. Clearly you being offended and partial is on you. I see you like to provoke. Typical. Hearing/reading all info and sides with respect (AND CONSIDERING) is my preference. Just because they quote Scripture and drill in Israel, as I have said, does not necessarily mean they are who they appear. And I said, I hope they are. My previous posts convey... I hope I am wrong. You seem to know all and know Im wrong. How would that even be possible. Apparently you turn a deaf ear and a blind eye. You even insulted and berrated the feedback from the posters that explained what happened to them and the lies they were told and the money they lost. How do you know? I'm beginning to wonder who YOU really are. You refuse to remain open and respectful to others views and posts. Christians don't act or speak the way you have. I will be happy to find... that my reservations are unfounded and in joy. There is no sin in questioning, remaining open nor being cautious. They are the first stock company I have ever seen using Scripture. That is a serious display and they should expect 'some' will want to be sure and examine and be cautious. That's all. Have a godly dialogue with me or don't have one at all. You know, it's just like the devil to name call & deflect. If I appeared or offended anyone I will apologize now. I have no apology, however, for expressing my love for the Lord and Israel, nor investigating and observing others experiences with them. If they are speaking with a fork tongue God will expose them. ZNOG 'appears' to be perfect. I said I hope they are but you, iRisky, twisted my position and what I said. Did you know that's the same behavior, rhetoric and tactic someone else we know does. Daily we should consult the Lord to edify, correct us and take captive every thought. I would never bash another true brother or sister in Christ. What I have fo e is shed light on the possibility and responsibility to observe, cont DD, read other people's experiences and take into consideration. You completely trashed those posts validity because you don't WANT to believe they are true. You have that right. Others have the right to be cautious & consider all, including the undesired possibility.

🇮🇱 Zion Oil & Gas Update: January 30, 2025
January 30, 2025Zion Oil & Gas, Inc.No CommentsBlogs, Exploration Updates, News, Operations, Updates
January 30, 2025
Dear Zion Shareholders and Supporters,
We are pleased to bring you the latest update as we continue progressing toward the next critical phase of operations at our Megiddo-Jezreel #1 (MJ-01) well.
As we have previously shared, logistical and geopolitical challenges necessitated an operational pause at the wellsite over recent months. Thankfully, we are preparing to launch our targeted re-completion work on the MJ-01 well in Q1 as expected. Our rig crew is informed and scheduled to arrive in Israel in the latter part of February to commence rig startup procedures. This includes minor repairs and maintenance, as well as drilling out the temporary plug that has been sealing MJ-01 during the pause. Once this work is complete, the team will focus on preparing both the location and the wellbore for the upcoming recompletion operation.
While our crew carries out these preparations, the necessary stimulation, well testing, and nitrogen equipment will be transported from various locations in Europe to Israel. Based on current projections, we anticipate receiving this equipment on-site in March, subject to final availability and shipping schedules.
Following equipment arrival, our plan is to proceed with rigging up, setting a bottom plug, and installing a swell plug, which is an essential step to isolate the targeted zone of interest. Once the plug has properly set, we will run in hole with the stimulation equipment, stimulate the zones, and initiate flowback operations.
Flowback duration will depend on well response; if all key components come together as expected, we anticipate completing these operations in early Q2.
While there are always variables in an operation of this nature, our team remains optimistic about the timeline and continues working diligently to achieve success.
As always, we deeply appreciate your ongoing support and prayers. We remain steadfast in our mission and will continue to provide updates as we progress.
Warm regards,
Rob Dunn

Bullish
Hey all...JB here!!! Just want to say thank you to all of our buyers of this stock on the OTC. We have ZERO revenues, NO oil license to drill anywhere, a rig that is just sitting in storage rusting away and we pay inflated salaries that drains the cash you send us. It literally funnels from your bank accounts to our bank accounts. Even with all of these obstacles, you value our company at over $50 million dollars in the market. God is great isn't he? He allows us to perpetuate this pillaging of the shareholders day after day and year after year. Glory to the almighty, to the most high. Keep sending those checks my faithful little fleeced flock.
-- Shalom - JB

I am going to give you guys a tip. Take it or leave it. Inflation is sky rocketing but natural gas is at an all time low. The market has a few ETF'S that are natural gas stocks. I just bought some BOIL. I am thinking these stocks will triple at a minimum. It is worth putting a grand or two in natural gas. I am not trying to pump. I do not need to.

With no active project, I think it would be easy to fire 14 or 15 of the senior staff and board members, cancel the car leases, work five days a week, move into a smaller office, and just operate with 2 or 3 people. I know that would be rather Elon Muskish, but not many people understand how (or why) Zion Oil can spent $600,000 a month to keep an office open in Dallas.

Bearish
1.) 23 years of failure.
2.) 17 board members.
3.) Misinterpreted old testament scriptures.
4.) 80 yr old making $500k for putting out a handful of emails sprinkled with scripture each year.
5.) Never produced a penny in revenue.
6.) Spent hundreds of millions on salaries and a solitary rig worth $6M.
7.) Added 800M shares in 3 years.
8.) Diluting the shareholders to pay 17 board members who do literally nothing.
9.) Have 3 offices around the world.
This is a full fledged dilution scam.

In reference to the recent comment I found by 'Dennis" on YF in Community link, I don't like to believe that ZNOG "J.B." would misuse Scripture to scam either, and this commentator makes reference to Joseph in the pit as well as if God wants the reservoir to gush oil, He will. While God is forever Sovereign, I don't believe He would bless scammers. I just know as believers we tend to believe the best. But God's word also refers to many passages to beware of wolves in sheeps clothing, so to speak, and also many verses referring to deceivers saying they cone in "the name of the Lord". To 'iRisky", Just like your "not buying" the commentators messages they posted as possible eye-openers, l am "not buying" to eliminate them as completely false either. All eyes on ZNOG. Watch and wait. Pray.

Sooo.. I never view The comments/blog forum on Yahoo Finance.. but I decided to.. a few minutes ago, and I wonder if this is the 'still small voice" of discernment that has made me uncomfortable that I could NOT put my finger on and had mot run across prior.. about this company, and I remember now.. that when I read about some of their individual 'bio's".. I couldn't find anything acknowledging Jesus is Lord, and if your Orthodox Jewish you currently wouldn't. And to any of their credit.. truly.. maybe I missed it. My sincere apologies please.. in advance then. And I saw the invite on their website and held off joining their prayer meetings. The Bible says there is no way to the Father but through His Son, for those following.. And yes, I see they drill in Israel, but they work out of Texas... Ok. I hope they are not exploiting Israel, or that there could be more to them than us visible. I raise this issue because this stock company features and posts Scripture. So for any of us that worship the Lord Jesus, that is something I did not see acknowledged. And..of course to each his own.. BUT .. I have to admit, (wouldn't you have to admit) for just a second, the rare possibility, that if an organization, especially a small one, was shrewd enough, it could suck in naive Lord Jesus loving Christians and possibly Jews and be an innocent looking front to be observed even by non Christians that may view their display as noble whether investors or believers or not, it could give some a feeling of confidence because we would be so impressed that a stock company doesn't mind quoting Scripture openly, what an ingenious way to possibly "hoodwink" and draw in continual, committed supporters, especially for those of us who love Israel. Of course I would be rooting for them, investing and believing in them... all the way.. shouting to everyone.. "stay the course" and "hang in there"! And I do on other stocks/forums for other stocks of those I have no reservation about (as much as you can in investing in stocks). Always a risk. Sooo.... NOW I WANT TO SHARE what I found on another forum about ZNOG, and these are copied & pasted from YF --: Kaiju Crush

'This company scammed my now deceased father out of tens of thousands of dollars by convincing him they were somehow tied to biblical prophecy. I have no idea how these executives sleep at night." And -- "Truth Forever

They liars and thieves blocked me on twitter for exposing the truth about the waste of money. Go check it out there lastest photo of all those employees, for what? Your not even drilling yet we pay out over a million in salaries monthly for what? your not even doing anything. What exactly are all these people doing everyday in the Texas office if there to drill in Israel. Nuts.". End. -- (Me) .. Thank God we live in the land of free speech and Don't ever trust anyone trying to muffle the mouth. Now, to be clear.. in good conscience, I have to "consider" these two posts (I just posted above). I don't do twitter.. so I don't know what the one commentator communicated on twitter, but they felt strongly enough to share. I was shocked ..kind of.. but not so shocked. I had to consider.I pray this stock is innocent, if not, God will expose them if they are using the face of Scripture as their vail. I would rather be wrong, but truthfully time will tell, and God will expose. I just hope they are not what I possibly wonder or is it possible they would be so brazen. I have no apology, I am observing and doing DD. It wouldn't be the first time a Penny stock or any company has scammed. It just makes me wonder if it is possible. Guys, though it's inexpensive stock, continue to dig and do DD. Don't sit. The money I spend I consider belongs to the Lord. I pray for Israel. God is merciful. And if ZNOG is fully no holds barr on the up and up, wonderful! I pray and praise God for their success, and their success blesses Israel first. Certainly I look forward to their next news, but I am still on the fence about it. If time permits, it's worth everyone looking deeper to assess yet remain neutral until or unless additional information is revealed. On the surface and mainstream news outlets, they sound and look perfect for all practical purposes. I am sorry for the two commentators experiences. And I wonder if they or on other social media they were cancelled, or if the powers that were may have scoured these two peoples comments but missed the two I found on YF by accident. Godspeed everyone. Our money and trust is priceless or no one would be vying for it.

Greetings, continued DD, revisited ZNOG Website and again could not open to view..updates/news, however there is mentioned news.. just-not-much "mentionable" or expandable for me to read. Certainly can view those pieces of updates on Google/Marketbeat. But minimal. Ironically less on YF. Decided to open up one of them on YF because the times prior that I scrolled all the way down beyond the actual article, that is where the acknowledgement of Scriptures was... You could see the name of the one who scribed it, and appears to be (John Brown, Zion Founder and Chairman) penned the quoted Scripture. But ... further below shows also Contact:

November 14, 2024 and on ZNOG WEBSITE I see the header: Zion Oil & Gas Update: December 10, 2024 and Zion Oil & Gas Update: October 9, 2024.. BUT it will not open and I cannot "read more". Then I hit a wall. Nothing. Glad to hear in a previous post charts look positive.. but .. something for me is off. Will happy to be wrong. I just don't have that confidence. I actually did, then recall reading in depth on each founder I found when you dig, and maybe one other, and wasn't comfortable. Don't recall, would have to refund the source. Have to dig for yourself. Everyones intuition or perception, comfort level, beliefs are different. No judgement. Just not as comfortable as I was at discovery point and surface info. To each his own. Just dig deeper on company profiles. I believe they believe and are doing their dream in this, the mission is worthy, but again, for me, can't quite put my finger on it. Christians are Israel's biggest supporter/friends and I gladly do. Sorry for the lengthy post. Certainly will watch, watch everyone's findings, observations and feedback, pray and continue DD. Am going to locate and review other OTC Gas & Oil, and more importantly in Israel but on our exchanges and others.

Though I have some ZNOG shares, months ago.. I wrote them and expressed how impressed I was to see a public stock, much less a Penny stock company), acknowledge Scripture. I never heard back. Not that I am supposed to, but let me say, even Blackberry replied and answered my inquiries.. and thanked me! No big deal, however, I decided to search for ZNOG news.. none I saw for 7 months now, then jumped on ZNOG website, there was no Menu or menu bars. I then jumped to news on their site, and continually went no where. Jumped on their blog, same issue, it would not display. So I decided to try tapping on the "Investor" link.. yup.. sho' nuf it had NOOO TROUBLE displaying in a wink & instructing how to invest and perpetually. So, I am ALL about the support of Israel, which is why I thought .. wow.. let me invest.. and Oil & Gas.. absolutely! But, I will say, I get an "off" vibe with this one. I saw the positive feedback about the chart, and pray that our investment truly blesses Israel. To be sure. But something seems amiss. Just one person's plug... If you all want to further invest in Israel, and a good cause (as in their missions) TAKE a look into WHEN.. & RVSN also. Worthy. GODSPEED ISRAEL.

I can only agree
Going up
Used to own some ZNOG, sold; looked like a pause to me. But because not much is being stated because of a current war
decided to get back in, hoping to buy more as I can. Since Israel became a "nation in a day", many have tried to eliminate ISRAEL, all have failed, all have lost
(divine intervention ?)
The best way to stop the war is TO WIN IT, and one more time they will win it IMHO.
