Vancouver, B.C. , Nov. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trillion Energy International Inc. (“Trillion” or the “Company”) (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) is pleased to announce flow test results for the Akcakoca-3 natural gas well at the SASB gas field, offshore Turkey.

Three sands with a total of 34 metres of natural gas pay were identified for perforation in the Akcakoca-3 well. Upon the first perforation of the upper 7 metre sand occurring, the well immediately experienced a pressure buildup up to 7.0 MMcf/d (32/64” choke). Well head pressure measured 1,400 psi.

Based on initial gas flow and reservoir pressure data from perforation of the first sand, a decision was made to commence producing this zone and perforate the remaining two sands (totaling 27 metres) at a future date, after production from the initial perforated interval starts to decline.

The final production flow rate will ultimately be established at the process facility.

Arthur Halleran CEO of Trillion stated:

“We are very pleased that our multi-well drilling program is off to a very strong start. We are “Two for Two” so far with both South Akcakoca-2 and Akcakoca-3 wells now successfully producing gas. Each well additionally has 10s of metres of identified gas sands ready for perforation and production in the future to keep production levels up. This is a desirable situation for the Company to be in.”
