Trillion Energy Announces SASB Field Operational Update
Trillion Energy has provided an operational update for its SASB offshore gas project in Turkey. The company completed installation of new velocity string tubing in two wells (Alapli-2 and Bayhanli-2) during January 2025, following similar installations in four wells on the Akcakoca platform in fall 2024. While both tripod wells initially showed positive response, stable long-term flow rates haven't been maintained.
The company continues nitrogen injections to stimulate production, though operations faced delays due to winter weather. Plans are underway to stimulate Akcakoca-3 and South Akcakoca-2 wells using nitrogen. Additionally, Trillion has sourced a gas lift compressor system for the Akcakoca platform and plans to install a Progressive Cavity Pump and two slim-hole Electric Submersible Pumps to enhance production in the coming months.
Trillion Energy ha fornito un aggiornamento operativo per il suo progetto di gas offshore SASB in Turchia. L'azienda ha completato l'installazione di nuovi tubi di velocità in due pozzi (Alapli-2 e Bayhanli-2) durante gennaio 2025, dopo installazioni simili in quattro pozzi sulla piattaforma Akcakoca nell'autunno del 2024. Sebbene entrambi i pozzi a treppiede abbiano inizialmente mostrato una risposta positiva, i tassi di flusso stabili a lungo termine non sono stati mantenuti.
L'azienda continua le iniezioni di azoto per stimolare la produzione, anche se le operazioni hanno subito ritardi a causa del maltempo invernale. Sono in corso piani per stimolare i pozzi Akcakoca-3 e South Akcakoca-2 utilizzando azoto. Inoltre, Trillion ha acquisito un sistema di compressione per sollevamento del gas per la piattaforma Akcakoca e prevede di installare una Pompa a Cavità Progressiva e due Pompe Elettriche Sommersibili a Foro Sottile per migliorare la produzione nei prossimi mesi.

La empresa continúa con las inyecciones de nitrógeno para estimular la producción, aunque las operaciones enfrentaron retrasos debido al clima invernal. Se están elaborando planes para estimular los pozos Akcakoca-3 y South Akcakoca-2 utilizando nitrógeno. Además, Trillion ha adquirido un sistema de compresor de levantamiento de gas para la plataforma Akcakoca y planea instalar una Bomba de Cavidad Progresiva y dos Bombas Sumergibles Eléctricas de Agujero Delgado para mejorar la producción en los próximos meses.
Trillion Energy는 터키의 SASB 해상 가스 프로젝트에 대한 운영 업데이트를 제공했습니다. 이 회사는 2025년 1월에 두 개의 유정(Alapli-2 및 Bayhanli-2)에 새로운 속도 스트링 튜빙 설치를 완료했으며, 2024년 가을에는 Akcakoca 플랫폼의 네 개의 유정에 유사한 설치를 진행했습니다. 두 개의 삼각형 유정 모두 초기에는 긍정적인 반응을 보였지만, 안정적인 장기 유량은 유지되지 않았습니다.
회사는 생산을 자극하기 위해 질소 주입을 계속하고 있지만, 겨울 날씨로 인해 작업이 지연되었습니다. 질소를 사용하여 Akcakoca-3 및 South Akcakoca-2 유정을 자극할 계획이 진행 중입니다. 또한, Trillion은 Akcakoca 플랫폼을 위한 가스 리프트 압축기 시스템을 조달했으며, 향후 몇 달 동안 생산을 향상시키기 위해 점진적 공동 펌프와 두 개의 슬림 홀 전기 잠수 펌프를 설치할 계획입니다.

L'entreprise continue les injections d'azote pour stimuler la production, bien que les opérations aient rencontré des retards en raison des conditions hivernales. Des plans sont en cours pour stimuler les puits Akcakoca-3 et South Akcakoca-2 à l'aide d'azote. De plus, Trillion a acquis un système de compresseur de levage de gaz pour la plateforme Akcakoca et prévoit d'installer une pompe à cavité progressive et deux pompes submersibles électriques à trou étroit pour améliorer la production dans les mois à venir.
Trillion Energy hat ein Betriebsupdate für sein Offshore-Gasprojekt SASB in der Türkei bereitgestellt. Das Unternehmen hat im Januar 2025 die Installation neuer Geschwindigkeitsstrangrohre in zwei Brunnen (Alapli-2 und Bayhanli-2) abgeschlossen, nachdem im Herbst 2024 ähnliche Installationen in vier Brunnen auf der Plattform Akcakoca durchgeführt wurden. Während beide Dreibeinbrunnen zunächst positiv reagierten, konnten stabile langfristige Durchflussraten nicht aufrechterhalten werden.
Das Unternehmen setzt weiterhin Stickstoffinjektionen zur Produktionssteigerung ein, obwohl die Arbeiten aufgrund des Winterwetters verzögert wurden. Es sind Pläne in Arbeit, die Brunnen Akcakoca-3 und South Akcakoca-2 mit Stickstoff zu stimulieren. Darüber hinaus hat Trillion ein Gaslift-Kompressorsystem für die Plattform Akcakoca beschafft und plant, in den kommenden Monaten eine progressive Hohlraum-Pumpe und zwei schlanke elektrische Tauchpumpen zu installieren, um die Produktion zu steigern.
- Completed installation of new velocity string tubing in 6 wells total
- Initial positive response from Alapli-2 and Bayhanli-2 wells
- Secured gas lift compressor system for Akcakoca platform
- Planned installation of new pumping systems to enhance production
- Stable long-term flow rates not yet achieved in tripod wells
- Operations delayed due to weather conditions
- Production requires ongoing stimulation through nitrogen injection
Vancouver, B.C., Feb. 13, 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.
During January 2025 the Company completed installation of new velocity string tubing in two wells located on tripods (Alapli-2 and Bayhanli-2) in an operation that took approximately two weeks’ time.
Previously, the Company completed installation of new tubing in four wells on the Akcakoca platform during the fall of 2024. A total of 6 wells have now received the new smaller tubing size to mitigate water loading conditions.
The tripod wells continue to receive nitrogen injections to stimulate production, however, operations have been delayed over the past few weeks due to stormy winter weather conditions. Both Alapli-2 and Bayhanli-2 initially responded positively to the ongoing operational efforts, however, stable long-term flow rates have yet to be sustained.
The Company is currently preparing to stimulate the Akcakoca-3 and South Akcakoca-2 wells in the upcoming week using nitrogen, upon suitable weather conditions arriving.
The Company has sourced a gas lift compressor system for the Akcakoca platform which will provide continuous gas lifting injection to certain wells to assist in production.
Additionally, the Company plans to enhance production by installing:
- A Progressive Cavity Pump (PCP) in a well
- Two slim-hole Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs) attached to the new tubing in two wells
These strategic interventions involving artificial lift are critical to sustaining long-term production rates and optimizing well performance and are expected to occur in the upcoming months.
