SASB Gas Field Development Project
South Akçakoca Sub-Basin, Black Sea

The SASB gas field is producing critical domestic supply of natural gas during the energy crisis gripping Europe at this time. SASB is a conventional gas field located in the Southwestern Black Sea, consisting of numerous conventional natural gas pools located in shallow water. The fields have produced over 42+ BCF since initial development in 2007. Production platforms, pipelines, initial wells and gas plant cost in excess of US$600m (100% interest). Trillion is redeveloping the field with a planned 21+/- well program commenced in 2022.

License block size: 12,387 Hectares. Expiration: licensed to 2032; renewable until 2042.
Royalty: 12.5%. Corporate tax rate: 22.5%. 2022 Projected CAPEX: USD$50m

 

Program A:
10+ new wells to be drilled, completed and produced (2P reserves)
Program B:
Drill prospective resources (est. 10 wells)
Program C:
Exploration of Stratagraphic and Channel prospects
Program D:
Offblock exploration proximate to SASB licence area (land acquisition pending)

*The Report has been prepared in accordance with resource definitions, standards, and procedures contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation (COGE) Handbook. The resource definitions used in preparing this report are those contained in the COGE Handbook and the Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 51-101 (NI 51-101).

**NPV 10 Valuation is the discounted value of the reserves after all capital development, operating costs, and royalties before taxes discounted to present-day dollars.

***Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development to derive a final chance commercially. GLJ has assigned a 90% chance of development for all six prospects and a chance of discovery ranging from 50% to 90% resulting in a range of chance of commerciality from 45% to 81%.
