Ness Energy International Inc. announced the drilling equipment that has been acquired has been moved, and small refurbishments have been made, in preparation to begin a drilling program in Israel.  

 

EMCO Marine moved the equipment from Emek Achula to the port city of Ashdod in Israel. The company is in the process of deciding which parcels to drill first. The equipment was transported by truck, while the smaller inventory was logged and loaded into 40 foot shipping containers for transportation. 

 

The inventory included all necessary drilling equipment to drill wells to 3,500 feet. The inventory also included all production equipment necessary for gas or oil production, including pumping units with motors, two stage Gemini gas compressors, a commercial generator, Lincoln welder and other necessary equipment.  

 

Most of the equipment is new and is still in crates. The equipment is being stored in Ashdod until the company begins its shallow drilling program. The company expects to announce the location of its drilling activities shortly. — (menareport.com)
