- Trillion Energy installs velocity string tubing (VS) in four wells at the SASB gas field, Turkey, enhancing gas production and recovery
- Guluc-2 and West Akcakoca-1 wells resume production with improved performance; Akcakoca-3 reports reduced water production
- Plans include VS installation in two additional wells, reservoir stimulation and adjustments to optimize gas output
Trillion Energy International (CSE:TCF) announced the successful installation of velocity string tubing (VS) in four wells at the SASB gas field in Turkey. This initiative, aimed at reducing water loading and improving gas recovery, marks a significant step forward in enhancing the efficiency of Trillion’s operations.
The installation included three long-reach wells on the Akcakoca platform. The VS technology enables wells to produce gas at lower wellhead pressures (WHP) for longer durations, addressing challenges with water loading that had previously hampered production.
Promising early results
Following the VS installation, the Guluc-2 and West Akcakoca-1 wells resumed production and are showing steady improvements. The Akcakoca-3 well continues to produce with a notable reduction in daily water output. These results highlight the initial success of the program in revitalizing well performance.
Trillion is planning the next phase of the operation, which will include:
- VS installation on two additional tripod wells.
- Stimulation of reservoirs to clean and build pressure.
- Nitrogen injection to flush water buildup.
- Adjustment of choke sizes to minimize water and maximize gas output.
Overcoming operational challenges
Winter weather and equipment delays, including a need to procure burst disks, slightly extended the operation’s timeline. Despite these hurdles, the company remains confident in the strategy’s potential to significantly boost gas production from these wells.
