Trillion Energy (TCF) has announced plans to add three side-track wells to its development program during 2023.

The total number of wells now contemplated in the SASB development program has increased from seventeen to twenty.

Eleven of these well operations are anticipated to occur during 2023, which will result in rapidly increased quantities of natural gas production during the year.

Side-track wells and workovers take relatively less time and cost about $3 million less than long-reach directional wells, allowing for an increase in the number of planned wells for 2023.

Arthur Halleran, CEO of Trillion, sat down with Sabrina Cuthbert to discuss the news.

“During 2023, we are focusing on using the Uranus rig to increase production through new wells, sidetracks and workovers. An added benefit of drilling side tracks from existing well boreholes is that they are already tied into the pipeline and production facility. Once drilled and completed, the wells are immediately put into production. We are currently in the process of getting our partner’s feedback on the proposed side tracks. We are pleased to have developed a work program which permits continuous drilling over the year to enable us to exit 2023 with 13 wells.”

Trillion Energy is an oil and gas company focused on natural gas production for Europe and Turkiye, with natural gas assets in Turkiye and Bulgaria. The company is 49 per cent owner of the SASB natural gas field, one of the Black Sea’s first and largest-scale natural gas development projects.

Trillion Energy Inc. (TCF) opened trading at C$0.385.
