Trillion Energy Announces SASB Field Operational Update
Trillion Energy (TRLEF) has provided an operational update for its SASB offshore gas project in Turkey. The company successfully installed new velocity string tubing in two tripod-based wells (Alapli-2 and Bayhanli-2) in January 2025, following similar installations in four wells on the Akcakoca platform in fall 2024.
The wells responded positively to nitrogen injection operations, demonstrating successful water reduction and improved performance. To enhance long-term production rates, Trillion has implemented several artificial lift techniques:
- Secured a gas lift compressor system for the Akcakoca platform, with testing scheduled for March 24, 2025
- Planning high pressure nitrogen injection post-compressor installation
- Implementing pump solutions including one Progressive Cavity Pump (PCP) and two slim-hole Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs)
Trillion Energy (TRLEF) ha fornito un aggiornamento operativo per il suo progetto di gas offshore SASB in Turchia. L'azienda ha installato con successo nuovi tubi di velocità in due pozzi a treppiede (Alapli-2 e Bayhanli-2) a gennaio 2025, dopo aver effettuato installazioni simili in quattro pozzi sulla piattaforma di Akcakoca nell'autunno 2024.
I pozzi hanno risposto positivamente alle operazioni di iniezione di azoto, dimostrando una riduzione efficace dell'acqua e un miglioramento delle prestazioni. Per aumentare i tassi di produzione a lungo termine, Trillion ha implementato diverse tecniche di sollevamento artificiale:
- Acquistato un sistema di compressore per sollevamento a gas per la piattaforma di Akcakoca, con test programmati per il 24 marzo 2025
- Pianificazione dell'iniezione di azoto ad alta pressione dopo l'installazione del compressore
- Implementazione di soluzioni di pompaggio che includono una Pompa a Cavity Progressiva (PCP) e due Pompe Elettriche Sommersibili a foro sottile (ESP)
Trillion Energy (TRLEF) ha proporcionado una actualización operativa para su proyecto de gas offshore SASB en Turquía. La compañía instaló con éxito nuevos tubos de velocidad en dos pozos de trípode (Alapli-2 y Bayhanli-2) en enero de 2025, tras realizar instalaciones similares en cuatro pozos de la plataforma Akcakoca en otoño de 2024.
Los pozos respondieron positivamente a las operaciones de inyección de nitrógeno, demostrando una reducción efectiva del agua y un mejor rendimiento. Para mejorar las tasas de producción a largo plazo, Trillion ha implementado varias técnicas de elevación artificial:
- Se aseguró un sistema de compresor de elevación de gas para la plataforma Akcakoca, con pruebas programadas para el 24 de marzo de 2025
- Planificación de inyección de nitrógeno a alta presión tras la instalación del compresor
- Implementación de soluciones de bombeo que incluyen una Bomba de Cavidad Progresiva (PCP) y dos Bombas Sumergibles Eléctricas de orificio delgado (ESP)
Trillion Energy (TRLEF)는 터키의 SASB 해상 가스 프로젝트에 대한 운영 업데이트를 제공했습니다. 이 회사는 2025년 1월에 두 개의 삼각대 기반 우물(Alapli-2 및 Bayhanli-2)에 새로운 속도 스트링 튜빙을 성공적으로 설치했으며, 2024년 가을에 Akcakoca 플랫폼의 네 개 우물에서 유사한 설치를 수행했습니다.
우물은 질소 주입 작업에 긍정적으로 반응하여 물 감소와 성능 향상을 보여주었습니다. 장기 생산률을 높이기 위해 Trillion은 여러 인공 리프트 기술을 구현했습니다:
- Akcakoca 플랫폼을 위한 가스 리프트 압축기 시스템을 확보했으며, 2025년 3월 24일에 테스트가 예정되어 있습니다.
- 압축기 설치 후 고압 질소 주입 계획 중
- 진행형 캐비티 펌프(PCP)와 두 개의 슬림홀 전기 잠수 펌프(ESP)를 포함한 펌프 솔루션 구현

- Système de compresseur de levage à gaz sécurisé pour la plateforme Akcakoca, avec des tests prévus pour le 24 mars 2025
- Planification de l'injection d'azote haute pression après l'installation du compresseur
- Mise en œuvre de solutions de pompage comprenant une pompe à cavité progressive (PCP) et deux pompes submersibles électriques à trou fin (ESP)
Trillion Energy (TRLEF) hat ein operatives Update für sein SASB Offshore-Gasprojekt in der Türkei bereitgestellt. Das Unternehmen hat im Januar 2025 erfolgreich neue Geschwindigkeitsstrangrohre in zwei dreibeinigen Bohrlöchern (Alapli-2 und Bayhanli-2) installiert, nachdem im Herbst 2024 ähnliche Installationen in vier Bohrlöchern auf der Akcakoca-Plattform durchgeführt wurden.
Die Bohrlöcher reagierten positiv auf die Stickstoffinjektionsarbeiten, was eine erfolgreiche Reduzierung des Wassers und eine verbesserte Leistung zeigt. Um die langfristigen Produktionsraten zu erhöhen, hat Trillion mehrere Techniken zur künstlichen Hebung implementiert:
- Ein Gasliftkompressorsystem für die Akcakoca-Plattform gesichert, mit Tests, die für den 24. März 2025 geplant sind
- Planung der Hochdruck-Stickstoffinjektion nach der Installation des Kompressors
- Implementierung von Pumpenlösungen, darunter eine progressive Kavitätenpumpe (PCP) und zwei schlanke elektrische Tauchpumpen (ESP)
- Successful installation of velocity string tubing in 6 wells showing positive production response
- Implementation of multiple artificial lift solutions to enhance long-term production
- Immediate deployment timeline for gas lift compressor system (March 2025)
- Wells requiring artificial lift solutions indicate natural production decline
- Multiple water loading issues affecting well performance
Vancouver, B.C., March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trillion Energy International Inc. (“Trillion” or the “Company”) (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62), is pleased to announce an operational update for the SASB offshore gas project, Turkey.
In January 2025, the Company successfully installed new velocity string tubing in two tripod-based wells, Alapli-2 and Bayhanli-2, completing the operation within approximately two weeks. This follows the installation of similar tubing in four wells on the Akcakoca platform during the fall of 2024. In total, six wells have now been upgraded with the new smaller-diameter tubing to mitigate water loading and enhance production efficiency.
Following the velocity string program, the wells were injected with nitrogen to evacuate water, lower the bottom hole pressure and stimulate gas production. The wells responded positively to the nitrogen operation demonstrating the success of the velocity strings and confirming the effect of water reduction on the well performance.
In response to the recent operation results Trillion has selected several artificial lift techniques for various wells in an effort to enhance and sustain long-term production rates. The Company has secured a gas lift compressor system for the Akcakoca platform. This system will enable continuous gas lift injection into select wells to support production. Before deployment, the compressor will undergo testing on an onshore natural gas well, with modifications including piping, cabling, inverter, and separator installations.
Testing is scheduled to begin next week March 24, with final mobilization to the platform expected the following week. High pressure nitrogen injection is planned after the installation of the gas lift compressor to stimulate production.
Additionally, the Company is implementing several pump solutions to reduce water loading and optimize well performance. These enhancements include one Progressive Cavity Pump (PCP) and two slim-hole Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs) attached to the new tubing. These strategic interventions are critical to sustaining long-term production rates and are expected to occur in the coming months.
