Item 8.01 Other Matters

Zion Oil and Gas, Inc. (“Zion” or “the Company”), a Delaware corporation, which has an active petroleum exploration license onshore Israel, the Megiddo-Jezreel License (“MJL” or the “License”), comprising approximately 99,000 acres, announces that it has signed a Geophysical Services Agreement For the Acquisition of 3-D Seismic Data (the “MSA Agreement”) on August 8, 2019 with Acoustic Geophysical Services KFT (“AGS”), an international geophysical company based in Budapest, Hungary. AGS has acquired over 8,200 square kilometers of 3-D seismic data along with in excess of 7,500 square kilometers of 2-D seismic data in central and eastern Europe and Turkey over the last eight years. In addition, AGS has logged over 4,828,650 exposure hours to date and 2,197,050 hours without a lost time incident.

Shipping arrangements have been made, and the trucks and equipment are expected to arrive at the port of Haifa, Israel by the end of August 2019. The equipment will need to clear customs in Haifa, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, should be on location on the License in early September. Zion’s 3-D seismic project is considered to be the largest high-density 3-D seismic acquisition acquired to date in onshore Israel.

Pre-approval by the Ministry of Transport in Israel is required before the importation of seismic source vehicles into Israel. The Company is pleased to report that it received that approval from the Ministry on August 2, 2019.
