TRILLION ENERGY PROVIDES OPERATIONAL UPDATE
April 8, 2024 – Vancouver, B.C. – Trillion Energy International Inc. (“Trillion”, or the “Company”) (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) is pleased to provide this operational update for the SASB gas field.
Trillion is starting the SASB revitalization project now as all relevant equipment and supplies for the start of the operations arrive mid-April 2024. As mentioned previously a total of 49 metres of new gas pay will be perforated in Guluc-2, South Akcakoca-2, West Akcakoca-1 and Akcakoca-3 prior to the installation of the artificial gas lift (AL).
Shifting the start of the SASB revitalization project from the end of the 1st Qtr. to the beginning of the 2nd Qtr. was the result of “the only solution is the correct solution”. Previously, the SASB AL program consisted of PCP pumps, ESP pumps and velocity strings. However, with new skilled personnel hired that has changed to predominantly velocity strings for step one and years down the road a water pump installed to prevent future water loading. A velocity string is just a smaller diameter production tubing, as currently the new wells have 4 ½” production tubing and the company will just thread 2 3/8” production tubing inside of the 4 ½” tubing.
Al Thorsen states:
“From my experience, velocity strings are the best solution at this stage of the gas producing wells as velocity strings are cheap to install, relatively simple to operate, have no moving parts and are well suited to high gas producing wells. These wells have large volumes of gas yet to produce and the velocity string is the first step, in the future 5 to 6 years from now when the wells have most of the gas produced, at that time PCP pumps or ESP will be installed to extend the gas producing life of the wells”.
Installing velocity strings requires substantially less capital compared to installing PCPs and is much faster.
Further updates will be provided as SASB’s gas production increases.
Time to do a little bottom fishing here.
No excuses, then. TRLEF should find some oil.

Dispatch: Turkiye's Oil Boom: Trillion's Opportunity Unveiled
Türkiye has achieved a significant milestone in oil production, exceeding 35,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the southeastern Gabar mountain region, the country's state-owned oil company Turkish Petroleum (TPAO) announced Friday.
Highlighting the success of the company's exploration efforts, TPAO said on X: 'We broke the first record of 2024 in oil production at Gabar with 35,061 bpd.'
According to TPAO, increased output originates from 28 operational wells, including newly drilled wells in the Gabar mountain region of Sirnak province.
'Our goal is to reach oil production of 100,000 bpd by the end of 2024. We surpassed the goals we have set, one by one, with the help of our nation, and we keep working relentlessly for Türkiye's energy independence,' TPAO said.
Türkiye's Energy and Natural Resources Minister, Alparslan Bayraktar, revealed in a news briefing on Thursday that the country's oil production in the Gabar region had reached around 33,000 bpd in 27 wells.
This success, stemming from 28 operational wells, underscores Türkiye's significant exploration efforts and commitment to energy independence, TPAO said.
Türkiye's Energy and Natural Resources Minister, Alparslan Bayraktar, revealed in a news briefing on Thursday that the country's oil production in the Gabar region had reached around 33,000 bpd in 27 wells.
Türkiye has intensified its oil and gas exploration activities since 2020, with the Gabar region playing a significant role in these efforts.
The discovery of new reserves in the southeastern area has been instrumental in Türkiye's pursuit of reducing dependency on imported energy resources and in achieving this year’s production level target.

This milestone not only highlights the region's capacity for substantial oil yields but also emphasizes the potential of Trillion Energy's adjacent exploration blocks. As Türkiye aims for 100,000 bpd by end-2024, Trillion's strategic positioning near such prolific reserves presents an exciting prospect for investors, signaling vast untapped resources and a promising future for energy production in the area.
VP/CFO sells 125,000+ shares over two days, and they're getting bought up on the third day. Can't tell if that's bearish or bullish!
Keeping an eye on this one. Volume has been very interesting lately. Hopefully some great news is on its way.
Good to hear from the company after seemingly crawling under a rock for 6 months+. However, more dilution coming. Better than bankruptcy, but damn we're at $0.06 right now, the market is not reflecting the resource that Dembicki is selling to potential buyers. I'm still just neutral on this waiting for my speculative lotto ticket to return or go to zero.

TRILLION ENERGY PROVIDES OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR SASB GAS FIELD
January 18, 2024 – Vancouver, B.C. – Trillion Energy International Inc. (“Trillion”, or the “Company”) (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) is pleased to provide this operational update and to reiterate its production guidance for the SASB gas field issued on September 25, 2023 subject to revised timing to facilitate evaluation of alternative pump types and installation.
On September 25, 2023, Trillion announced its SASB production guidance for the completion of five new wells and one recompletion completed for the work program ending August 2023. Trillion reiterates this guidance, save and except by pushing the program three months forward, due to receiving pumps, some which require remanufacture of well heads to install. Well heads have been ordered and first deliveries are expected in February 2024.
To address the water loading issue, the Company enlisted the expertise of the third-party engineering firm GLJ last November, 2023. The ensuing comprehensive report highlighting actionable items for the execution of artificial lift and was delivered in December 2023. The Company has now put in motion ordering pumps, wellheads, new well tubing and the like.
Thus, Trillion’s issued production guidance remains steadfast at 7,547 mcf/d before royalties (15.4 MMCF/d 100% Gross interest to lease) for the initial six wells for the 2024 year, with the program execution occurring over the course of the next few months, starting with the four Akcakoca platform wells in Q1 and then the two tripod wells in early Q2.
Moreover, the Company anticipates fitting two or three additional legacy wells with pumps by Q2 for a total of eight + producing wells. Two of the added wells were initially part of the sidetrack program, however, to save cost, are now slated as recompletions instead of new sidetrack drilling. Production from these wells is in addition to the six wells and is not included in the above production estimates.
During the initial drilling program, the initial short term flow test rates for the six wells in question were, 100% interest before royalties: South Akcakoca-2: 7-8.2MMcf/d; Akcakoca-3 7MMcf/d; Alapli-2: 11.9MMcf/d; West Akcakoca-1: 5.9MMcf/d; Bayhanli-2: 11.9MMcf/d and Guluc-2: 16.35MMcf/d.
Trillion Energy is committed to transparency and operational excellence, and we appreciate the ongoing support of our stakeholders as we advance further on our developments within the SASB gas play.
Perforation Program Updates
In October 2023, we successfully reperforated Guluc-2 and West Akcakoca-1 wells. Akcakoca-3’s perforation was deferred due to a snag causing a tool string challenge. The snag issue is now resolved, allowing for perforation of the remaining 6 meters of gas pay. In addition, 10.4 metres of gas pay will be perforated in South Akcakoca-2. Trillion is confident the perforations will increase production significantly in the wells and that both will receive either velocity string tubing (an alternative to pumps) and or pumps upon arrival of the required parts.
Tough week for Trillion. Natural gas has been on a roller coaster in the US, I wonder if that would be driving this selloff, or just the middle east getting hotter and hotter. Some PR would hit the spot right about now.
Maybe they need another 75/1 or 70/1 split.
probably in the OR with his buddy DOCTOR Clotfeeler
Picked up a small lotto ticket this morning, hopefully they can get it together. Lepard, where you at?!
Dude, if you're calling him a Dr. and he's not a Dr. THAT IS MISLEADING.
Let's keep it legit, guys.
TRILLION ENERGY PROVIDES UPDATED SASB 3D SEISMIC WITH NEW STRATIGRAPHIC GAS PROSPECTS
December 20, 2023 – Vancouver, B.C. – Trillion Energy International Inc. (“Trillion”, or the “Company”) (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) is pleased to announce the completion of its 3D seismic reprocessing for the SASB gas field. The Company is now in the process of interpreting the results and tying the results into the existing drilled wells.
Significant improvements in seismic technology since the initial processing of the 2004 seismic data offer enhanced data imaging for reservoir characterization, faults, and reservoir layers. Additionally, the new PSDM seismic volumes & velocity model has uncovered:
Continuous reflectors
Much clearer fault cuts
Amplitude preservation
Improved imaging of subsurface geology and enhanced results of attributes, inversion, and AVO
Higher quality data, allowing for clear visibility of both previously and newly discovered gas channels, revealing thin sand bodies
Validation of the presence of hydrocarbons using different AVO attributes, such as intercepts, gradients, fluid factors, and gas indicators
Detection of sweet spots for new gas prospects.
Arthur Halleran CEO of Trillion stated:
"In the dynamic landscape of energy exploration, our reprocessed seismic data has unveiled a promising chapter for the SASB gas field. The revelation of extensive channel sands, particularly in the D and De-E zones, surpasses our earlier understanding of the field. This transformative breakthrough marks a clearer and more expansive vision of our gas prospects. The excitement is palpable as we witness the emergence of previously unseen gas-charged sand channels throughout, setting the stage for a future defined by enhanced exploration success."

Discounted & Misunderstood Story Creates Deep Value Setup
SPECULATIVE BUY - C$0.75 Target Price
High-Level View: Trillion is a Tu¨rkiye-focused producer, with its main development asset being the South Akcakoca Sub-Basin (“SASB”) offshore Black Sea gas field, and a potentially high impact oil exploration opportunity in the southeast part of the country in the Cudi-Gabar region. The team is led by seasoned oilman, Dr. Arthur Halleran, who has over 40 years of experience across various countries and was a founder of Colombia producer Canacol Energy (CNE-TSX, NR). Overall, we believe that if the team can deliver on volumes at SASB, which have been challenged but resolutions are being implemented, the stock will look deeply discounted on valuation with substantial upside for potential for investors today.
Trillion has successfully drilled five new wells and one recompletion well in the SASB field with 100% success rate. As the wells came onstream in Q223, volumes in the field increased by 42% from 5.74 MMcf/d in Q123 to 8.16 MMcf/d in Q223 (100% WI). That said, the Company faced substantial production constraints on two new wells which resulted in volumes being below near-term expectations.
Trillion kicked off a resolution program in Q323 to resolve these issues, which had nothing to do with the rock but with water loading being an issue in the new wells in the Akcakoca field. This resulted in a successful update on October 30, with production increasing to 14.4 MMcf/d (7.056 MMcf/d net to TCF) on a temporary basis, and the Company is looking at installing pumping to get production from the initial six wells to ~15 MMcf/d (gross – expected in Q124). We saw this as a solid update but due to unforeseen challenges at a institution likely involved with the stock, TCF was under substantial undue pressure.
2024. Given the current valuation in the stock, we see this potential as a free option. producers and Trillion can earn-in a 50% WI in three blocks with drilling expected to start in southeast Tu¨rkiye. The Cudi-Gabar region has seen successful exploration results by other Outside of SASB, the Company secured a farm-in opportunity for oil exploration in
Company Thesis: With the recent equity raise of C$10.8M (Echelon led financing), we believe commentary about funding and the 2024 capital program misplaced. Trillion has flexibility on the program, mainly from how many exploration wells at Cudi-Gabar (we are currently forecasting one well in 2024) On our 2024 forecast on strip pricing, we see funds flow of $30.1M and with the raise, we believe the Company is in solid position to execute on a forecasted $29M capital program. That said, we do believe that continued success on rampingup production from the current wells will be key to making this funding go around but given the recent success we believe management is on track to deliver.
Valuation: Given the issues around Q223 production and the market anomaly impacting the stock in late October, Trillion has given a lot back in valuation. Currently, we see a great riskreward setup in TCF, with our 2024 valuation standing at 1.3x EV/DACF and a substantial discount to our 2P NAVPS of C$2.24. With that, we are initiating on Trillion with a Speculative Buy rating and C$0.75 price target for a 159% return potential based on a 2.5x 2024 target multiple. We highlight key milestones that would support a more aggressive PT range of $0.95-$1.25 on page 5. Given that we have already seen some success on the SASB turnaround, we believe that hitting 15 MMcf/d at SASB and solid Q124 on volumes will be a key catalyst for the market, and if successful, we believe that TCF will recoup that valuation deterioration over H223.

I like that.
I'm sticking with Trillion through this bear market. I think the company is going through some tough times with the NG price, although the USA us much cheaper than Europe. I think the energy crisis there will last and the pain is yet to hit them. That, plus any potential oil discovery should be what Trillion needs for a large exit or to get some respect from markets.

TRILLION ENERGY PROVIDES OPERATIONAL UPDATE
November 27, 2023 - Vancouver, B.C. - Trillion Energy International Inc. (“Trillion” or the “Company”)(CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) is pleased to provide an operational update for the SASB gas field. The Company is holding a workshop in Ankara, Turkey between December 4 and 8th the subject being boosting production from its existing six wells as well as the 2024 work program planning.
The Company has received a report from Frontier Project Solutions, a Calgary based engineering company founded in 1977, to assist in facilitating artificial lift solutions to curtail water loading issues. Frontier has over 50 years of hands-on experience with well pumps, how to install them and where to procure these items in a fast and timely manner. Initially 2 to 3 different artificial lift solutions will be implemented starting with the Akcakoca platform.
2024 Work Program Updates
The next phase of SASB development includes bringing on production from 5 additional wells next year bringing the total producing wells to 11, targeting gas reserves in existing wells on the three tripods. Preliminary indications suggest that at least two of the future sidetrack wells would benefit from artificial lift and may not have to be re-drilled. Artificial lift would result in an 85% cost savings over redrilling representing a savings net to Company of about US$4 million per well. The other proposed sidetracks are also being evaluated for cost savings.
In addition to SASB, the Company receives about US $300,000 per month from the Cendere oil field.
Anyone know when the warrants expire? Maybe that will help the share price

This is incredible. I assumed the drop was due to Erdogan's statements about Israel/Palestine since it was during the same week last week.
Eight Capital with a BUY - C$4.00 Target Price
TCF announced results from its first two of three well perforations. We view the update as positive on production rates tracking to meet the company's exit 2023 production guidance of 7.5 MMcf/d and is currently in-line with our Q4/23 production estimate of 7.1 MMcf/d. However, we believe the positive news is slightly offset by the company having to deal with handling pressure across the field which is causing delays to the perforations at Guluc-2. We look forward to a future update with all three wells flowing from the re-perforated zones.
Production is ramping and tracking guidance: two of the total three planned well perforations have been commenced or completed at Guluc-2 and West Akcakoca-2 which has increased SASB field production to 7.1 MMcf/d, net to TCF, which is tracking to meet the company's exit 2023 guidance of 7.5 MMcf/d and is already in-line with our Q4/23 production estimate of 7.1 MMcf/d. We note that the company has one more perforation to start at Akcakoca-3 and is working to fully complete perforations at Guluc-2 and West Akcakoca-2. TCF is expecting to receive more information on stabilized production rates in the coming week as the perforation program is completed.
Highlights of the program to-date:
Guluc-2: The company perforated the top three "C" sands, which resulted in pressure increasing to 1,735 psi and caused the company to delay perforating the "B", "A" and "AA" sands until the West Akcakoca-2 perforations are fully completed. The perforation program at Guluc-2 will target 30 meters of gas pay over five sand intervals.
West Akcakoca-2: The company has perforated the "A" and "B" sands, totaling 6 meters of gas pay, causing pressure to increase to 1,742 psi, and the perforation of two additional zones is ongoing.
Akcakoca-3: This is the final well to be perforated, with TCF targeting the "C" and "E" sands, which will allow for an additional 19 meters of gas pay to be produced.
Finally, TCF has recently installed a new compressor at the Cayagzi gas field to reduce back pressure from the field into the gas processing plant. Installation of well pumps and reduced tubing sizes will come at a later date.
Our price target reflects a 50/50 blend of 5.0x EV/2024E DACFs and 1x our risked NAVPS of C$3.15 which factors in a 60% chance of success in development. Risks to our price target include foreign currency exchange risk, commodity pricing, single asset concentration and political/economic risk within Türkiye.

TRILLION ENERGY ANNOUNCES SASB WELL PERFORATION RESULTS
9:00 am ET October 30, 2023 (Globe Newswire) Print
Perforation program ups SASB gas field production rates to 14.4 MMcf/d (100% interest)GlobeNewswireOctober 30, 2023
Vancouver, B.C., Oct. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trillion Energy International Inc. ("Trillion" or the "Company") (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) is pleases to provide an update on its three well perforation program at the SASB gas field previously announced on September 25.
So far, two out of the three well operations have now been commenced or successfully completed. As a result, total combined production at SASB is currently 14.4 MMcf/d (100%) - 7,056 MMCF/d net to Trillion into the gas sales pipeline.
More information on stabilized production rates are expected during the week as perforations are currently ongoing in the West Akcakoca well and yet to commence in the Akcakoca-3 well. The work program is expected to be completed later this week.
Natural gas sale prices received by Trillion for October are USD $12.33/mcf (CAD $17.14). November gas prices are expected to be set over the next few days by the government regulator BOTAS. Trillion pays operating costs of $90,000 per month for SASB and a 12.5% royalty on gas sales.
Technical Details of the Three Well Perforation Program
Guluc-2 -The perforation program includes a total of 30 metres of gas pay in five separate sands. On October 25th the top two "C" sands at 3,665 - 3,674.5 metres MD (measured depth) were perforated (14.65 metres TVT (true vertical thickness) of gas pay) causing gas pressure to increase to 1,140 psi. On October 26th the top 3 metres (8.46 metres TVT) of the "C" sands 3,644 - 3,654 metres were perforated causing gas pressure increase to 1,735 psi. Due to the high pressure, a decision was made to delay perforation of the final pay zones in Guluc-2 totaling 12.3 metres in the "B", "A" and "AA" gas sands until after the West Akcakoca-2 perforations to allow production to stabilize first.
West Akcakoca-2 - On October 28th sands "B" and "A" were perforated totaling 6 metres of gas pay causing pressure to increase to 1,742 psi. Perforation of two additional zones is ongoing.
Akcakoca-3 will be the final well to be perforated in the "C" and the "E" sands for an additional 19 metres of gas pay.
Trillion has recently installed a new compressor at the Cayagzi gas field to reduce back pressure from the field into the gas processing plant. Installation of well pumps and reduced tubing sizes will come at a later date.
Arthur Halleran CEO stated:
"We are pleased with the results of our ongoing perforation program at SASB which is about half-way completed at this time. We are well on our way to following through with our work program and hitting the production targets as set out in our September 25 news release this year. The current program is just the beginning, we will continue to work on increasing gas production at SASB until we are satisfied with the results"
