Trillion Energy spuds Alapli-2 gas well offshore Turkey
June 13, 2023
Trillion Energy International Inc. has spudded the Alapli-2 natural gas well at SASB gas field, offshore Turkey, the sixth well in its multi-well program. Alapli-2 was drilled by GSP Offshore SRL’s Uranus jack-up rig.
Alapli-2 is a long-reach directional well being drilled from the Akkaya tripod and will twin the Alapli-1 exploration well. 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.
Trillion’s Bayhanli-2 gas well, which began producing June 2, 2023, averaged 8 MMcfd (100%) of natural gas production in its first 6 full days of operation.
Eight intervals of gas pay with a true thickness of about 21 m were perforated and tested at Bayhanli-2 and now are producing gas to the sales pipeline (OGJ Online, June 2, 2023).
