Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. Announces Commencement of MJ-02 Sidetrack Operations
Company’s drilling rig recommissioned and renamed “JB-1” in honor of Zion Founder John Brown
DALLAS, Texas, and CAESAREA, Israel, June 10, 2026
Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (OTC: ZNOG) is pleased to announce that field operations have commenced for the planned sidetrack phase of the Megiddo-Jezreel #2 well in Israel.
As expected, Zion has re-entered the well and is currently in the process of drilling out the temporary plug. Following this step, the team will condition the wellbore downhole and proceed with the planned horizontal sidetrack drilling.
“We are thankful to report that this next phase of work is now underway,” said Zion Oil & Gas Chairman/CEO Robert Dunn. “Our team has safely re-entered the well, and we are moving carefully through the required steps that prepare us for the planned sidetrack drilling. We remain focused on executing the approved work plan safely, efficiently, and with gratitude for the opportunity before us.”
Zion is also pleased to report that its drilling rig has been recertified and recommissioned in accordance with regulatory requirements, and in a fitting tribute, the rig has officially been renamed JB-1 in honor of Zion’s Founder, John Brown. John’s vision, faith, and perseverance established Zion’s mission of exploring for oil and gas onshore in Israel, and the Company is grateful to honor his legacy as this important phase of operations begins.
“Our crew, operations team, and all involved are excited to see this work moving forward,” Dunn added. “We deeply appreciate the continued prayers and encouragement of our shareholders and supporters around the world.”
Zion Oil & Gas remains committed to pursuing its mission in Israel with diligence, prudence, and faith, and looks forward to providing further updates as operations progress.

“Blessed of the Lord is his land,
With the precious things of heaven, with the dew,
And the deep lying beneath,
With the precious fruits of the sun,
With the precious produce of the months,
With the best things of the ancient mountains,
With the precious things of the everlasting hills,
With the precious things of the earth and its fullness,
And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush.
Let the blessing come ‘on the head of Joseph,
And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.’”
Deuteronomy 33:13–16 (NKJV)
