VANCOUVER, B.C. — Trillion Energy International Inc. has started a two-month operations program at the SASB gas field offshore Turkey.

Operations are being conducted in several phases and involve seven or eight wells at the SASB gas field, including all six wells drilled/completed in 2023 as well as a few older wells that historically experienced water loading issues, the company said. 

About 16,500 m of velocity strings, new wellheads and other tangibles have been ordered and are being received at shore base proximate to the Akcakoca port on an ongoing basis. Order delivery has been occurring over the last month and expected to continue as the work program unfolds. Service contractors have been engaged for perforations, well tractors and tubing running services, as well as marine vessels required to convey the equipment 14 km offshore. 

In mid-June, 49 m of gas pay in four wells will be perforated, followed by initial velocity string installation in the AKK-3 well. The June operations will occur on the Akcakoca platform, including Guluc-2, South Akcakoca-2, West Akcakoca-1 and Akcakoca-3 wells. This operation is estimated at 20 days’ time.  

In July, the second set of operations will begin, involving installation of gas velocity strings in 6 or more wells on the Akcakoca platform and two tripods. Pump installation is anticipated in one or more older wells, which were not part of Trillion’s 2022-2023 drilling program on an as needed basis.
