Zion Oil & Gas Drilling Operations Update and Unit Program to End Soon

Zion's CEO, Victor Carrillo, added, "Since our last update on June 19th, we continue to be quite pleased with the operational progress of the drilling. We successfully ran a suite of electric logs from surface to ~1,900 ft., successfully ran and cemented our surface casing with 18 ^5/8 inch casing, and continue drilling deeper. I would like to emphasize to our investors that as opposed to most other drilling operations around the world, in Israel, we do not drill during Shabbat (Friday sunset to Saturday Sunset) out of respect for local laws and religious traditions. We recognize that this may extend the overall time it takes to drill our well, but we will continue to be good stewards of Israel's land and customs in acknowledgment that we are their guests."

Zion's forward looking plans call for obtaining sidewall cores (SWCs) from upcoming zones of interest and drilling ahead to our next casing point.
