Description

Trillion Energy has announced evaluation results from the Zagros Basin Derecik exploration licenses in the Hakkari area of Turkey. The company, which holds 100% interest in the Derecik Blocks, said today that the oil-rich Zagros Basin extends from Iraq into Turkey to include the Derecik licenses, which are now near several major producing oilfields in northern Iraq including Bijell; Atrush; Swara Tika; and Swara Tika East fields. According to the company, the Derecik Blocks have identical stratigraphy as the Zagros Field block in Iraq, with Cretaceous and Miocene compression. The #1-Balkayalar has a planned depth of 2,560 m in an anticlinal, four-way closure containing Jurassic and Triassic reservoirs. The #1-Derecik has a planned depth of 3,493 m, which is also an anticlinal four-way closure containing Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic reservoirs. Trillion Energy is based in Vancouver.
