Trillion Energy spuds natural gas well offshore Turkey

(WO) – Trillion Energy International Inc. announced the spudding of the Alapli-2 natural gas well at the SASB gas field, offshore Turkey, the sixth well in the company’s multi-well program.

Alapli-2 is a long-reach directional well being drilled from the Akkaya tripod and which will twin the Alapli-1 exploration well. The Alapli-1 well was never put on production but was perforated and tested at a combined rate of +7 MMcfd, indicating the gas pool is economic.

The Bayhanli-2 gas well, which commenced production on June 2, 2023, has averaged 8 MMcfd (100%) of natural gas production in its first six full days of operation.

Arthur Halleran, CEO of Trillion, stated, “Alapli-2 is a guaranteed success, being a twin of an unproduced exploration well with significant reserves. At completion in about 45 days, we will have 6 gas wells on production at SASB. We are also now getting fantastic flush gas production from Bayhanli-2 our top producer to date.”
