Trillion Energy International Inc., Vancouver, is evaluating how to maximize gas production from multiple wells at SASB gas field in the Turkish sector of the Black Sea as preliminary gas indications from Bayhanli 2 well—the fifth well in the program—discovered “an abundance” of gas pay.
On May 13, Bayhanli 2 reached 3,425 m total measured depth (TMD) and true vertical debt (TVD) of 1,231 m, the company said in a release May 17.
Initial petrophysical analysis indicated about 43 total m gas pay in 6 Sand Units of Akcakoca Member. The thickest pay (14 m) is in the E Sand and (13 m) in AA Sand, the company said. The 7-in. production casing has been run in and cemented.
Initial perforation intervals are being selected to bring the well into production. Completion and flow testing will occur once the well is perforated, with results expected to be released in the coming days, the company said.
After well completion, the rig will be moved to the Akkaya Tripod to begin drilling the Alapli 2 well.
“The Bayhanli 2 well gives Trillion Energy five wells for five activities now at SASB,” said Arthur Halleran, chief executive officer. The company is evaluating how to maximize each well as more are brought into production, possibly hiring an engineering firm that specializes in multi-well gas fields with different production pressures, he said.
