Zion Oil & Gas is a U.S.-based corporation formed under Delaware law, exploring for oil and gas in Israel on licensed and permitted areas located onshore between Tel Aviv and Haifa. Zion was founded by John Brown in April 2000 after 15 years of dedication to the vision of finding oil and gas in Israel -- his goal to assist Israel in restoring the Land of Israel and making the People of Israel politically and economically independent. "And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land, ...." (Amos 9:15)

Zion is an American oil exploration company that is exploring for Oil & Gas in Israel.

Zion holds petroleum exploration rights in Israel located on areas that, in Biblical times, were in the territories of the Tribes of Manasseh and Asher.

Zion is listed on the American Stock Exchange – the symbol is ZN – and stock can be freely traded through any broker.

Zion plans a multi-well exploration program. It drilled its first well to 15,842 feet and intends to drill a second well (the Rehoboth) nearby, even deeper to the Permian (target depth 18,400 feet). Deuteronomy 33:13-16. Required long-lead drilling equipment has already been ordered.

Zion has a professional and deeply committed team operating from offices located in Dallas, Texas and Caesarea, Israel.
(See Psalm 127 and Psalm 133)

Zion intends to donate 6% of its gross revenue to two charitable foundations.

The Search For Oil in the Land of Israel - A Biblical Treasure Hunt
Oil explorers, inspired by their understanding of certain Biblical passages, including the Blessings of Joseph in Genesis and Deuteronomy, have been active in Israel since the early 1960s. In a detailed paper Philip Mandelker reviews the history of these activities and provides detailed analysis of the Scriptural verses that inspired them. The analysis includes discussion of the definitions and etymologies of various key words in the Hebrew texts, application to the certain of texts of poetic conceits used in Biblical writings, the use of certain of the Biblical references in the context of early Mesopotamian and Persian texts and practices, interpretations of the texts by medieval Jewish rabbis, references to oil and asphalt seeps in Israel in antiquity and certain relevant geological phenomena in areas of interest.

Vision Statement

Comfort and Support to Israel

From its inception, the calling of Zion Oil & Gas has been to assist Israel in the restoration of the Land by finding and producing oil and gas, the rock oil and source of energy buried deep beneath the ancient hills and valleys of the Land of Israel, necessary to make the People of Israel politically and economically independent. For the State of Israel is not only a refuge for Jews, but is the answer to the prayers of many generations of the Jewish people: "And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God." (Amos 9:15)

The Charitable Trusts

In furtherance of its mission and the biblical principles of charity (Deuteronomy 15:11) and loving-kindness (Isaiah 63:7) which have guided its founder, John M. Brown, from the company's inception, the company intends to establish two charitable trusts, one in Israel and one to be based in the United States. A 3% overriding royalty interest (or equivalent net operating profits interest) in the Joseph Project will be assigned to each of the trusts (6% in total), the proceeds of which will be used, respectively, in supporting projects for the restoration of the people and land of Israel and for social and educational rehabilitative projects in the United States and internationally. Income to the charitable trusts will commence after the Project will have returned from production an amount equal to exploratory expenditures, through and including the estimated cost of drilling and completing the first discovery well on the Ma'anit-Joseph License.

"Zion" of Many Meanings

The earliest references to Zion in the Bible, II Samuel 5:7 and I Chronicles 11:5, refer to the Citadel of Zion on the flank of the lower eastern hill of Jerusalem, in what became known as the City of David. In I Maccabees 4:37, the Temple Mount - Mount Moriah - is referred to as Zion. Later the name became associated with the higher western hill of Jerusalem, overlooking the Temple Mount. David's Tomb and the Coenaculum - the site of the Last Supper - are both located on Mount Zion. In the poetic writings, Zion becomes the equivalent of Jerusalem, the religious capital and spiritual heart of the People of Israel. At other points in the First Testament, Zion refers to the tribe or land of Judah or the whole of Israel. The name Zion also refers to the People of Israel themselves. After their exile from the Holy Land, Zion has meant to Jews their homeland, together with Jerusalem and the Temple, in all of Israel's ancient glory. Among Christians, the name Zion is the church ruled by God, or the heavenly city or heavenly home.

The Blessings of "Joseph", "Asher" and the "Land of Israel"

The lands of the Ma’anit-Joseph License lie in the heart of the lands of the Tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph. The Ma’anit #1 Well lies just south of I'ron Valley. The Valley is located at the mid-point of the ancient Way of the Kings - the Roman Via Maris - connecting the empires of Egypt and Syria. Some early maps show the I'ron Valley as the biblical border between the lands and hills of Ephraim and Manasseh; while others show the border as paralleling the east-west line forming the southern boundary of the Joseph Permit and the Joseph Reef. The lands of the Asher Permit lie in the northern portion of the lands of the Tribe of Manasseh and the southern portion of the Tribe of Asher, an area which some scholars also attribute to Manasseh during various periods of Israelite settlement of the Land of Israel. Click the map for a larger view.

And Jacob blessed Joseph (Genesis 49: 22-26): "Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall. The archers fiercely attacked him, and shot at him and hated him; but his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made supple by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob (by the name of shepherd, the Rock of Israel), by the God of thy father who shall help thee; and by the Almighty who shall bless thee, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that couches beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. The blessings of thy father are mighty beyond the blessings of the eternal mountains, the bounties of the everlasting hills, they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separated from his brothers."

And Moses blessed the tribes of the sons of Joseph (Deuteronomy 33: 13-17): "And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew and for the deep that couches beneath, and for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, and for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of primordial hills, and for the precious things of the earth, and its fullness, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush. Let the blessings come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him who was separated from his brothers."

"And of Asher he [Moses] said, blessed above sons; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil." (Deuteronomy 33:24.) Of the Land of Israel, Moses sung (Deuteronomy 32:13): "He made him ride on the high places of the earth, and he ate of the produce of the fields; and he made him suck honey out of rock, and oil out of the flinty rock."

Testimony of John Brown

The mission of Zion began with a trip to Israel by our Founder, John Brown in 1983. Click here to view the testimony of Mr. Brown's vision and calling.

Details about the Charitable Trusts
If we are successful in finding commercial quantities of oil and gas in Israel, we intend to donate a portion of our gross revenues to charities in Israel, the United States and elsewhere in the world.

proof that God and the bible really are all about the oil....

... The Plan ... By Faith (Hebrews 11:1-40)
John Brown’s approach to Zion Oil has been unprecedented ... and that is because of John Brown’s FAITH in G-d and HIS promises (Joshua 1:8) and in G-d’s faithfulness and ability to perform all HIS Word, as we also walk in the steps of faith as Our Father Abraham walked. (Romans 4:11-25) And Jesus said, “It is written [Deuteronomy 8:3], Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” (Luke 4:4)

Now, “FAITH is the substance of things [the Oil of Israel] hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. ... [And, it is also written that] By FAITH Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and ... , By FAITH Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come; ... By FAITH Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph.” (Hebrews 11:1-22) G-d’s word establishes and so states “...The JUST shall live by his FAITH [Habakkuk 2:4] ... But without FAITH, it is impossible to please HIM.” (Hebrews 10:38 and 11:6) For: We worship by faith as Abel. We walk by faith as Enoch. We work by faith as Noah. We live by faith as Abraham. We
govern by faith as Moses. We follow by faith as Israel. We fight by faith as Joshua. We conquer by faith as Gideon. By faith we are patient in suffering, courageous in battle, made strong out of weakness, and are victorious in defeat. We are more than conquerors by our faith seeing “... there is one God who will justify the circumcised By Faith and the uncircumcised through faith.” (Romans 3:2930) So, it is only through faith in JESUS CHRIST that we are saved. “It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God’ [Isaiah 54:13] Therefore everyone who hath heard, AND HATH LEARNED OF THE FATHER, cometh unto me.” (John 6:4551)

From its inception, G-d’s plan was born through Faith in G-d’s Word into the heart of John Brown, Zion’s founder, and, in all
matters concerning Zion, the Word of G-d has been the basis of John Brown’s conduct and actions: For it is written, “This book
of Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all
that is written in it.” (Joshua 1:8) Consequently, the founder of Zion shall respect and “Fear God, and keep HIS commandments: for that is the WHOLE duty of man.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13)

NOW BY FAITH ... The Ma’anit-Joseph License #298 Exploration activity is now in progress on the Ma’anit-Joseph License in Israel where the Ma’anit #1 well was drilled to 4,719 meters (15,482 feet). For I believe that G-d has promised in the Bible that, in the last days, oil will be discovered in Israel on the head of Joseph. (Genesis 49:1)

... “by the God of thy father who shall help thee; and by the ALMIGHTY who shall bless thee, with blessings of HEAVEN above, blessings of the DEEP [the Oil of Israel] THAT LIETH BENEATH; ... they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of him that was separated from his brethren.”
(Genesis 49:25-26)

... “And of Joseph he said, blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of HEAVEN, for the dew and for the DEEP [the Oil of Israel] THAT COUCHETH BENEATH ... and, for the chief thing of the ancient mountains and for the precious things [Meged] of thevprimordial hills [Oil] and fullness thereof, and for the Good will of Him that dwelt in the bush; let the blessing [the Oil of Israel] come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren”. (Deuteronomy 33:13-16) “And of Asher he said, Be Asher blessed above sons; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him DIP HIS FOOT IN OIL.” (Deuteronomy 33:24)
