TRILLION ENERGY INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES DRILLING START DATE

The drilling rig is now being prepared and is expected to arrive August 29, 2022

August 22, 2022 - Vancouver, B.C. - Trillion Energy International Inc. (“Trillion” or the “Company”) (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) is pleased to announce the Uranus drilling rig is currently being prepared to move to the SASB natural gas field, Black Sea, for the Company’s multi-well drilling program and expected to arrive on August 29, 2022.

The Company’s multi-well development program initially includes seven natural gas production wells set to come online during a time when acute natural gas shortages are menacing Europe and Turkey. Natural gas prices continue to spike, breaking historical records; the prospect of a cold winter looms with the worst shortages expected yet to come.

The rig is currently undergoing a rigorous inspection, survey and permitting process, where we have hired ModuSpec UK to carry out an inspection and testing before the rig is sent to us. The process is going as planned so far, with no major problems identified to date. Final inspection and acceptance are anticipated on or about August 26th, then the rig will be hauled by marine ships to the SASB Gas field.

Transport time is about 3 days. When it arrives, the rig will be positioned at the Akcakoca offshore production platform. Positioning and jack up of the rig should take a day, weather permitting. Other preparations will take 2 more days before the first well is spud on or about September 1 this year.

Arthur Halleran CEO stated:

“We are pleased to announce a clear path to drilling and gas production -we are counting the days before we embark on this historic milestone achievement bring substantial new gas production into the region at a critical time”.
