Zion Oil & Gas Operational Update for License #428 in Israel

Zion files for a new exploration license in the Megiddo-Jezreel Valley.

DALLAS and CAESAREA, Israel, May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (OTCQX: ZNOG) files for a new exploration license in the Megiddo-Jezreel Valley on the same 99,000 area as the previous #401 license and the current #428 license.

"This new exploration license application will further our current and future work plans in Israel," stated Vice President and Managing Director in Israel, Jeff Moskowitz.

All well-testing, completion, and stimulation equipment are at the Haifa port or on location in Israel for the next phase of Zion's operations.

Zion's MJ-02 well has been completed through casing, liner, and cementing. Ongoing operations include well stimulation and DST testing. All necessary equipment to conduct the well stimulation and DST testing are in country despite the global logistical backlog.

Simultaneously with the new exploration license filing, Zion has submitted a petition seeking administrative approval of a term of three-years for the #428 exploration license under Israel's petroleum law.

Zion Oil & Gas, a public company, traded on OTCQX Best Market, explores for oil and gas onshore in Israel on their 99,000-acre Megiddo exploration license area.
