Trillion Energy International President Scott Lower joined Steve Darling from Proactive o provide an in-depth update on the company’s strategic evolution and the results of a critical independent resource evaluation. The discussion centered on Trillion’s successful expansion into the oil-rich landscapes of southeast Turkey, signaling a transformative era for the organization as it broadens its footprint in the Middle East. Lower detailed the company's deliberate pivot toward oil exploration, highlighting a major discovery on a block strategically positioned near the Iraq and Syria borders—an area globally recognized for its prolific hydrocarbon potential. Following the completion of two exploratory wells last year, a third-party independent assessment has officially quantified the first of three identified leads. According to Lower, the evaluation confirmed a staggering 27 million barrels of oil net to the company, with an estimated 23 million barrels recoverable after accounting for royalties. This discovery serves as a pivotal milestone in Trillion Energy’s exploration program. With two additional leads yet to be drilled, the potential for further resource expansion remains high. Lower emphasized that this initial success provides a robust technical foundation that is expected to significantly enhance shareholder value and dictate the company’s long-term development strategy. To capitalize on this momentum, Trillion Energy is currently undertaking a private placement to fund its share of exploration commitments. This capital will be deployed toward a rigorous two-well drilling campaign and extensive seismic surveys designed to further de-risk the remaining leads. Lower noted that the financing has been met with strong investor interest, describing the current phase as "very exciting times" for both the internal team and its stakeholders. Addressing the global stage, Lower also touched upon the tightening dynamics of the oil market. He pointed to persistent supply challenges and geopolitical friction—particularly near the Strait of Hormuz—as factors that could create structural, long-term supply constraints. However, he noted that Trillion Energy is uniquely positioned to navigate these external risks. The company’s operations benefit from direct pipeline access and robust local demand within Turkey. This infrastructure allows Trillion to bypass global shipping vulnerabilities and high transport costs while securing premium regional pricing for its production. #proactiveinvestors #trillionenergyinternational #cse #tcf #otcqb #trlef #OilDiscovery #TurkeyEnergy #Hydrocarbons #OilExploration #MiddleEastEnergy #ResourceDevelopment #SeismicSurvey #DrillingCampaign #EnergyMarkets #SupplyConstraints #PipelineInfrastructure #UpstreamOil #EnergySecurity #ExplorationUpdate
