Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. was founded by an American Christian evangelist John Brown in April 2000 for the purpose of exploring for oil and gas in Israel and reaching production levels that would help Israel become an energy independent country. Texan John Brown says he is on a divine mission to find oil in the land of milk and honey. Brown, who calls himself Zionist Christian, is convinced that oil-dependent Israel is sitting on vast reserves of crude and that their location is mapped out in the Bible. He is convinced that key clues are contained in a Biblical passage that calls for blessings upon the head of Joseph, and a map of the 12 Biblical tribes of Israel that shows what he says looks like the outline of a head. The company’s founding was the culmination of a 14 year process of laying the groundwork for an oil company that began during Brown’s inspirational visit to Israel in 1985. Zion currently (2009) holds two Petroleum Exploration Licenses – the Asher-Menashe License along the Israeli coastal plain and on the Mt. Carmel range, between Caesarea and Haifa and the Joseph License located along the Israel coastal plain between Netanya on the south to the southern border of the Asher-Menashe License. (13th Nov) Zion Oil & Gas Inc. (100% operator) was drilling ahead the Elijah 3 exploration well in the Asher-Menashe (334) licence area below 1,057m. The well was spudded on 18 October 2009 with a PTD of 5,182m in the Permian and is expected to encounter the Triassic at approximately 3,048m. The well site, which was selected using a recently completed geophysical survey of the licence, is located approximately 4 km south-east of the Asher-Atlit 1 wildcat. Asher-Atlit 1 was drilled to a TD of 6,531m in August 1983 before being plugged and abandoned with oil shows.
