Trillion Energy International Inc., Vancouver, expects gas production to double with two additional wells entering production in April. The West Akcakoca-1 natural gas well at SASB gas field, offshore Turkey, is set to enter long-term production following a now-completed flow test.
The West Akcakoca well's two lower “D” sands with a combined total of 7 m of natural gas pay were perforated Mar. 24. The two zones were flow tested at a rate of 5.9 MMcfd. Shut-in pressure was 1620 psi. To ensure long-term production, 48 m of gas pay remains to be perforated, the company said.
Also Mar. 24, the Uranus rig was skidded to the Guluc-2 well. Preparations are under way to perforate the gas bearing zones to put the well into production, which is expected in a matter of days.
A total of four new producing wells from the SASB development program, said Arthur Halleran, chief executive officer of Trillion. “Since drilling program commenced last year, we have successfully drilled and produced from four out of four targets. Results to date demonstrate the long reach directional technology being used to revitalize the SASB gas field is working well,” he said. More wells are to come, he continued.
Trillion Energy is 49% owner of SASB natural gas field, one of the Black Sea’s first and largest-scale natural gas development projects.
