Trillion Energy International Inc. announced on July 31 it has entered into a farm-in agreement with Derkim Poliüretan Sanayi ve Ticaret AS to earn 50% interest in three oil exploration blocks onshore Turkey. 

The oil blocks cover 374,325 acres in the newly defined Cudi-Gabar petroleum province, Southeastern Turkey. To earn the 50% interest, Trillion must acquire 351 km of 2D seismic in 2023 and drill 4 wells in 2024. 

Turkey’s portion of the Cudi-Gabar province — which is central to an active petroleum system extending up from Iraq and Syria — contains several major oil fields, including Sehit Esma Cevik, discovered in 2022 and Sehit Aybuke Yalcin, discovered in 2023. 

Block M47C3, C4, the Eastern Block, is 15 km by 30 km and is 12 km from the newly discovered Sehit Aybuke Yalcin Oil Field, which contains a reported 1 Bbbl original oil in place, and 11 km from the Sehit Esma Cevik Oil Field, reported to contain 250 MMbbl. Blocks M46C and M46D, or the Western Blocks, are a combined area of 30 km by 60 km and located 30 km west of the Eastern Block. 

No economic discoveries have yet been made on the oil blocks Trillion is farming into.
