Trillion Energy International (CSE: TCF) this morning indicated that it beat prior guidance for revenue for the month of December. Revenue is currently being generated via two producing wells within its SASB gas field, which is under further development.
Revenue for the month of December after Trillion’s 49% share of production amounted to 87.4 MMcf, which generated revenues of US$2.6 million. After royalties, the company managed to pocket US$2.3 million in revenues, net to the company. December marked the first full month of production for the South Akcakoca-2 and the Akcakoca wells.
In late December, Trillion had indicated that it expected to generate US$2.1 million in sales for the month, after royalties. That estimate was based on the first fifteen days of production during the month, with production said to have beat expectations as a result of production rates being fine-tuned.
