With a strategic portfolio of oil and gas production and exploration projects, Trillion Energy is a compelling investment opportunity well-placed to play a critical role in Europe’s and Turkey’s energy market.
Trillion Energy (CSE:TCF,OTCQB:TRLEF,Frankfurt:Z62) is a natural oil and gas exploration company focused on providing energy to Turkey and Europe. The company operates primarily in the Black Sea region, where it has been rapidly increasing its natural gas production at SASB gas field since 2022. Trillion Energy is also expanding into oil and gas exploration, particularly in Southeast Turkey. With established infrastructure, including gas plants and pipelines, the company is set to play a critical role in meeting the region’s energy demand in 2024 and beyond.
Turkey is the seventh largest natural gas consumer in the world, importing 98 percent of its natural gas and 92 percent of its oil. Strong local demand, high gas prices (US$11/MCF), and favourable fiscal regimes (12.5 percent royalty and 22 percent corporate tax rates) provide a lucrative energy market.
Off the Turkey coast, the Black Sea gas pipeline plays a pivotal role in connecting Europe and Asia via Turkey, making it the only pipeline with such connectivity. This strategic infrastructure is key to Turkey’s energy ambitions, positioning the country as a vital energy hub between two continents. The pipeline is integral for distributing gas from the SASB Gas Field to both local and regional markets. Turkey's existing infrastructure also allows it to tap into this route for supplying gas to Europe, further enhancing its role in global energy supply.
The SASB Gas Field, located in the Black Sea, off Turkey, is a significant natural gas project redeveloped by Trillion Energy. Initially developed in 2007, the gas field has produced over 43 billion cubic feet (BCF) of gas. SASB plays a crucial role in Turkey’s domestic energy supply
Trillion’s development program for SASB consists of more than 17 production wells. More than $600 million have been invested into the historical wells and infrastructure at SASB. Six wells have been drilled in 2023, and the project is now producing at four production platforms.
Trillion aims to increase production at SASB to an exit rate of 8.5 million cubic feet per day by the end of 2024. The project benefits from high gas prices and strong infrastructure, with reserves valued at USD $420.5 million.
The SASB license block comprises 12,387 hectares, which expires in 2032, and is renewable until 2042.
Trillion Energy's Southeast Turkey project involves oil exploration in the Cudi-Gabar province. The 2023-2026 program includes drilling 10 wells across three blocks covering 151,484 hectares. Trillion holds a 50 percent interest by funding 100 percent of the costs, with seismic data acquisition and well drilling planned. The area is surrounded by major oil discoveries, including the nearby Sehit Aybuke Yalcin and Sehit Esma Cevik fields, which are rich in oil reserves.
The Cendere Oil Field, located in Turkey, is a long-term, stable oil production site in which Trillion Energy holds a 19.6 percent interest (with a lower interest of only 9.8 percent in three wells). The field produces around 110 to 120 barrels of oil per day net to Trillion Energy, generating $120,000 to $140,000 in monthly cash flow. With approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil reserves remaining, the field has a net present value of US$13.85 million for Trillion Energy.

Trillion Energy International Inc. (" Trillion " or the "Company ") (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62), is pleased to announce an operational update for the SASB offshore gas project, Turkey.
During January 2025 the Company completed installation of new velocity string tubing in two wells located on tripods (Alapli-2 and Bayhanli-2) in an operation that took approximately two weeks' time.
Previously, the Company completed installation of new tubing in four wells on the Akcakoca platform during the fall of 2024. A total of 6 wells have now received the new smaller tubing size to mitigate water loading conditions.
The tripod wells continue to receive nitrogen injections to stimulate production, however, operations have been delayed over the past few weeks due to stormy winter weather conditions. Both Alapli-2 and Bayhanli-2 initially responded positively to the ongoing operational efforts, however, stable long-term flow rates have yet to be sustained.
The Company is currently preparing to stimulate the Akcakoca-3 and South Akcakoca-2 wells in the upcoming week using nitrogen, upon suitable weather conditions arriving.
The Company has sourced a gas lift compressor system for the Akcakoca platform which will provide continuous gas lifting injection to certain wells to assist in production.
Additionally, the Company plans to enhance production by installing:
These strategic interventions involving artificial lift are critical to sustaining long-term production rates and optimizing well performance and are expected to occur in the upcoming months.

Jupiter Energy’s cash-flow positive standing, substantial proven recoverable reserves and long-term strategic positioning in resource-rich Kazakhstan, make a compelling investment value proposition. Its commitment to sustainable operations, backed by its recent strategic investment in developing its 100 percent gas utilisation infrastructure, adds to the company’s investor appeal.
Jupiter Energy (ASX:JPR) is an established oil exploration and production company that operates three oilfields in Kazakhstan. The company has been producing approximately 600 to 700 barrels of oil per day from its licensed fields and has successfully navigated Kazakhstan’s regulatory and operational landscape since 2008. Its operations are fully compliant, with its three commercial production licenses secured until 2045/46/49. Jupiter Energy’s reserve base has been independently confirmed by a Sproule International competent person’s report (CPR), effective 31 December 2023, detailing significant recoverable reserves.
Jupiter Energy has a reputation as a reliable operator in the region. The company holds 100 percent ownership of its licenses, which cover a total area of approximately 123 sq km in the oil-rich Mangistau region. The license area is close to the port city of Aktau and strategically located in an area with established oil processing facilities and substantial oil and gas infrastructure, including pipelines to the country’s major oil refineries.
Jupiter has successfully transitioned its oilfields through the various regulatory phases required to reach full commercial production. Its three oilfields – Akkar East, Akkar North (East Block) and West Zhetybai – all operate under their respective 25-year full commercial licences. The company’s established compliance and operational framework underline its commitment to long-term sustainable production in Kazakhstan.
According to the Sproule International CPR, released in January 2024, Jupiter Energy’s recoverable reserves under the SPE/PRMS classification are as follows:
These figures confirm Jupiter’s substantial reserve base, with its Kazakh State Approved Reserves recorded at approximately 52 mmbbls (GOST C1 + C2 classification).
The company is also building the necessary pipelines to enable its current and future production wells to be connected into its larger neighbour’s existing gas utilisation infrastructure. This development will allow for the processing and utilisation of associated gas generated during oil production, not only complying with Kazakhstan’s legislation that is focussed on carbon-free operations but also benefiting the local community and contributing to Kazakhstan’s objective of reaching carbon neutrality over the coming decades. This project has seen close collaboration between Jupiter Energy, its larger oil producing neighbour and the Kazakh Ministry of Energy, thereby strengthening its relations with the Kazakh government and its people.
At the helm of Jupiter Energy is a highly experienced corporate and technical leadership team, driving the company towards achieving its goals and increasing shareholder value.
Block 31 is Jupiter Energy’s flagship project located in the Mangistau Basin of West Kazakhstan. Covering an area of approximately 123 sq km, it lies in a highly prospective region with proven oil reserves. The company acquired extensive 3D seismic data over the entire block and surrounding areas, totaling 235 sq km, which then enabled the identification of multiple drilling targets.
Jupiter has since drilled nine wells on Block 31, targeting the Akkar North (East Block), Akkar East, and West Zhetybai oilfields. The current production from Block 31 is approximately 640 barrels of oil per day, with plans to increase output to around 1,000 barrels per day with the drilling of a new well, with the spud data of this well expected in late November 2024. Further increases in production will come via the workovers of existing wells and the drilling of further new wells, planned from 2025 to 2030.
Block 31's strategic significance is bolstered by its newly constructed gas utilization infrastructure, which will allow for the processing and management of associated gas produced during oil production, ensuring this gas is 100 percent utilised by the company, its larger oil producing neighbour and/or by local communities. Kazakhstan has imposed stringent regulations against gas flaring, the practice of burning gas by-products that are generated during oil production. This means that 100 percent gas utilisation is a mandatory requirement for oil producers with full commercial licences in Kazakhstan.
Jupiter’s gas utilisation infrastructure, currently under construction, is expected to be approved for operation in November 2024. This will enable its oilfields to connect to a larger neighbouring producer’s existing gas utilisation facility, which will in turn process and manage the oilfields’ gas by-product. The strategic investment in gas utilisation infrastructure strengthens Jupiter’s relations with the local community and signifies its commitment to sustainable production and helping Kazakhstan reach carbon neutrality in the coming decades.
Geoff Gander graduated from the University of Western Australia in 1984, where he completed a Bachelor of Commerce degree. He has been involved in the listing and running of public companies since 1994. He was appointed as a director of Jupiter Energy in January 2005 and he is currently responsible for the overall operational leadership of the company, as well as investor relations and group corporate development.
Baltabek Kuandykov is currently the president of Meridian Petroleum, a privately held Kazakh oil & gas company.

Coelacanth presents a compelling investment opportunity with its ownership of approximately 150 net sections in the Montney Formation in the Two Rivers oil and liquids rich natural gas region, boasting $64.4 million in working capital and a strategic position near major producers.
Coelacanth Energy (TSXV:CEI) is a junior oil and natural gas exploration and development company, focusing primarily on the prolific Montney region in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. With a substantial landholding of approximately 150 net sections in the Two Rivers area of Montney, Coelacanth is strategically positioned to harness the potential of one of the most resource-rich natural gas basins in North America. This company sets itself apart with its well-structured growth strategy, financial stability, and commitment to sustainability, making it one of the promising junior players in the region.
Coelacanth Energy has established a strong foundation to deliver on its future production targets by ensuring it is fully permitted and funded to embark on its infrastructure developments. The company is in the process of deploying $ 80 million to facilitate the smooth transition from exploration to production. Coelacanth’s financial health is further evidenced by its $64.4 million in working capital as of Q2 2024. This financial cushion not only supports ongoing infrastructure projects but also provides the company with the flexibility to expand its operations.
Capital deployed for project development will be allocated towards constructing processing facilities, pipelines, and necessary gathering lines, which are all crucial components for transporting and processing oil and gas. With processing contracts secured for up to 60 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d) and long-term gas takeaway agreements for 100 mmcf/d, Coelacanth is well-positioned to scale its production quickly and efficiently. The company aims to have its infrastructure fully operational by mid April 2025, ramping up cashflow, marking a significant milestone in its transition to a full-scale production company.
The Montney Formation is recognized as one of the most significant natural gas reserves in North America, covering large portions of British Columbia and Alberta. Known for its high levels of natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs), Montney has attracted numerous large oil and gas producers, including companies like Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), Shell, ARC Resources (ARX), Tourmaline Oil Corp (TOU), and ConocoPhillips (COP). The presence of such large players highlights the importance of this region in contributing to both the Canadian and global energy markets.
Coelacanth’s landholdings are strategically located in the Two Rivers area of Montney, giving it access to a highly productive portion of the basin. Unlike many junior exploration companies, Coelacanth is drill-ready, positioning it favorably among its peers. By securing significant infrastructure and landholdings, Coelacanth ensures its ability to tap into the natural gas and oil resources that lie beneath its properties, a key advantage in the competitive Montney region.
Coelacanth Energy Inc. has adopted a well-defined two-pronged strategy for growth, which focuses on both immediate production goals and long-term resource development. This approach provides a balanced focus on infrastructure development and resource delineation.
Coelacanth is focused on delineating its land base resources alongside infrastructure development. This involves drilling wells to explore and prove the extent of hydrocarbon deposits across multiple zones within the Montney Formation. By continuing to delineate its resources, the company aims to demonstrate the productivity and economic viability of its assets, which is critical for long-term growth. The delineation process also helps Coelacanth de-risk its projects, ensuring that future drilling activities are economically sound.
Compelling test results and initial reserves bookings
The Two Rivers East project is Coelacanth’s primary development focus. This area has shown significant potential for oil and gas production, with initial tests yielding compelling results. The proved and probable reserves (P+P) for Two Rivers East are estimated at 1,532 mboe per well, with approximately 30 percent of the reserves comprising oil and NGLs. Initial production tests from wells in the Lower Montney zone have confirmed the commerciality of this resource, with one well producing 1,345 barrels of oil equivalent per day at (boepd) at 61 percent oil, and three others producing an average of approximately 1,300 boepd at averaging 38 percent oil. These results underscore the viability of Two Rivers East as a key asset for Coelacanth’s future growth.
The Two Rivers West project also holds considerable proved and probable reserves of approximately 1,148 mboe, 34 percent of which consist of oil and NGLs. Similar to Two Rivers East, initial production tests have demonstrated strong deliverability. For example, the Upper Montney well in this region produced an average of 1,284 boepd during its test phase. These tests indicate that the Two Rivers West project will contribute significantly to Coelacanth’s production capabilities as it continues to expand its operations.
Coelacanth’s strategic location in the Montney, coupled with large contiguous landholdings and established infrastructure, positions the company for long-term growth. The company’s land position in the light oil window of Montney further enhances its value, as light oil typically commands a premium over heavier oil grades. Coelacanth is the number one landholder in this lucrative area, providing it with a significant competitive edge.
Moreover, Coelacanth’s management team has a proven track record, having successfully built and sold six oil and gas companies prior to founding Coelacanth. This experience adds credibility to the company’s long-term growth strategy, instilling confidence that Coelacanth can replicate its past successes in the Montney region.
Rob Zakresky has a significant background in the oil and gas sector, previously serving as the president and CEO of Leucrotta Exploration as well as five additional predecessor companies. He has been with Coelacanth Energy since its inception and is recognized for his strategic leadership and focus on enhancing shareholder value. His expertise in financial management and operations is reflected in his approach to driving the company's growth.
Bret Kimpton joined Coelacanth Energy in 2022, bringing a wealth of experience from his previous role as vice president of production at Storm Resources, where he contributed to significant production growth. He has a strong background in construction and operations, especially in the Montney region of British Columbia, managing various fields. His role at Coelacanth focuses on overseeing operational efficiency and implementing the company's growth strategies.
Nolan Chicoine has also been with Coelacanth Energy since its inception. His responsibilities encompass financial oversight, including financial planning, reporting, and analysis. He plays a crucial role in aligning the financial strategies with the company's operational goals. His background includes significant experience in financial management as CFO for Leucrotta Exploration, Crocotta Energy, and Chamaelo Energy.
