(“Trillion” or the “Company”) (CSE: TCF) (OTC: TCFF) (Frankfurt: 3P2N) is pleased to report that the Cendere Oil field has regained positive economics as oil prices have rebounded up 90% during May 2020 to over $35 USD/barrel.

Trillion has a 19.6% interest in the Cendere Oil field, which includes 25 wells, of which 16 are producing, all except for 3 wells in which it has a 9.8% interest. The low decline rate and the long-term production characteristics have estimated continuous oil production into 2026, with approximately 1.3 million standard barrels (stb) remaining to be produced and 45mm stb Oil in Place (OIP). 20.6 million barrels cumulative production has occurred as of May 2020. The current production rate at Cendere is approximately 735 barrels per day (100% interest), 125 bopd net to us. Total OPEX averages $23.55 plus $7.81 royalties. Oil is currently sold for US$37/bbl (CND$52/bbl).
GLJ Petroleum Consultants www.gljpc.com recently quantified the value of the Cendere oil reserves as at December 31, 2019, the results are summarized as: P1 (proven producing) + P2 (probable) = 299,000 bbls for an NPV10% of $4.817 million US; and P1 (proven producing) P2 (probable) + P3 (possible) = 362,000 bbls, for an NPV10% of US$ 5.535 million. All value estimates are net to company, after recovery costs, expenses, royalties, before taxes, discounted to current day value at 10% Per Annum.
President & CEO, Mr. Arthur Halleran commented: “With the recent resurgence in oil prices, our Cendere field returns to profitability. Trillion intends to evaluate the field for vertical and horizontal wells with a vison of extending the known oil field and increasing existing production levels.
