Long-reach drilling pays off in SASB gas wells offshore Turkey

Trillion Energy International expects to double its gas production from the SASB Field in the Turkish sector of the Black Sea, with two new wells set to come onstream in April.
VANCOUVER, Canada—Trillion Energy International expects to double its gas production from the SASB Field in the Turkish sector of the Black Sea, with two new wells set to come onstream in April.
The West Akcakoca well’s two lower “D” sands, with a combined total of 7 m of gas pay, were perforated late last week, testing at a rate of 5.9 MMcf/d with a shut-in pressure of 1,620 psi.
This well will now enter long-term production, with a further 48 m of pay to be perforated in the future.
GSP’s Uranus jackup has since skidded over to the Guluc-2 well, with preparations underway to perforate the gas-bearing zones to put the well into production within the next few days.
Trillion CEO Arthur Halleran said of this latest campaign, “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.”
