The resulting 'Permian Report' identified a Permian drilling prospect on the Ma’anit structure on Zion's Joseph License and noted and analyzed the striking similarity between the late Permian/Arqov formation in Israel, into which Zion plans to drill the planned Ma'anit-Rehoboth #2 well, and the late Permian Khuff formation in the Persian Gulf region.

Together, the two licenses cover approximately 162,000 acres.

September 17, 2007 - Today, Zion signed an agreement with the Geophysical Institute of Israel to conduct one of the largest and most comprehensive geophysical surveys on-shore in Israel of the past two decades. The survey, including seismics, gravimetrics and magnetics, is to be conducted in Zion’s Asher-Menashe License area.
The purpose of the designed 60 kilometer survey is to acquire new geological and geophysical data to assist Zion in selecting the optimal drilling site for a test well on its Ramot Menashe (Menashe Heights) prospect and to upgrade the company’s Nahal Me’arot lead (nearby the Asher-Atlit No. 1 well) into a drillable prospect. The estimated cost of the survey, including processing and interpretation, if completed to its full 60 kilometer designed length, is approximately $650,000.
