COVID Update

As in many parts of the world, due to the COVID19 pandemic, economic activity in the Black Sea region has temporarily slowed. However, demand for our produced natural gas and oil has remained strong and we have not had to curtail production because of the current economic conditions or the COVID19 pandemic. Moreover, we were able to increase production from our legacy wells during COVID as above. Oil prices we received temporarily declined but rebounded during May to over US $30/BBL. Gas prices received remain above US$6.00.

During the COVID19 pandemic, our operations continued with staff working from home where possible to maintain appropriate social distancing protocols ascribed by various government authorities. On June 1, our offices in Turkey reopened from COVID. During COVID, the Company used work-from-home arrangements wherever possible. Trillion is adhering to advice provided by local and international health authorities regarding social distancing and increased hygiene practices.
