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
