In Bulgaria, the two parties aim to advance the Vranino 1-11 exploration block, which holds coal bed methane natural gas with exploration potential.

Trillion Energy stated: “What precipitated the initiative is the mutual recognition that discovering new sources of natural gas in the European region is paramount. [Alongside this is] Trillion’s recent technological success in the Black Sea using long-reach directional drilling technology and [the potential of] Trillion’s Vranino 1-11 natural gas exploration block which has significant gas resources, and which remains unexplored by Trillion.”

Located in north-east Bulgaria, Vranino 1-11 is a 98,205-acre exploration licence block. The licence area comprises 60 stacked, gas-charged coal seams, which give a high average net coal footage per well.

In March 2023, Trillion Energy announced a gas discovery at the South Akcakoca Sub-Basin (SASB) gas field in the Black Sea offshore Turkey, following the drilling of the West Akcakoca 1 well.
