DUNE OIL APPOINTS EXPERIENCED INTERNATIONAL ENGINEERING ADVISORS TO ADVANCE M47 OIL WELL RE-ENTRY AND COMPLETION PROGRAMS

Dune Oil Corp. (formerly Trillion Energy International Inc.) has appointed Allan Albertson, PEng, and Dean Casorso, MBA, CET, as technical advisers to support the planning and evaluation of potential well re-entry, completion and production operations on the company's M47 oil exploration block in southeastern Turkey.

The appointments bring together international experience in petroleum engineering, drilling, well completions, reservoir evaluation and oil field operations, with particular relevance to the fractured carbonate reservoirs encountered on the M47 block.

Advancing the C-1 and C-2 well programs

The initial focus of the advisory team will be the technical evaluation and planning of potential re-entry and completion programs for the Cetinkaya-1 ©-1) and Cetinkaya-2 ©-2) wells, together with strategies to evaluate reservoir deliverability, water management strategies and potential commercial production.

The C-1 well, drilled in 2025, encountered light crude oil with gravity of 32.4 degrees API. Previous drilling operations encountered significant lost circulation, highlighting the technical challenges associated with drilling and completing naturally fractured carbonate formations.

The advisers will assist Dune in assessing well conditions, reviewing available drilling and geological information, evaluating appropriate drilling and completion methods, and developing recommendations intended to preserve reservoir productivity while managing operational risks and costs.

Initial technical priorities are expected to include:

• Well re-entry planning: reviewing the C-1 and C-2 wellbores and assessing potential re-entry, deepening and completion options;
• Reservoir protection: evaluating drilling fluid, lost circulation and completion strategies suitable for naturally fractured carbonate formations, with emphasis on limiting formation damage;
• Production evaluation: assessing well testing, stimulation and production strategies to better characterize reservoir performance and potential commercial deliverability;
• Operational planning: supporting development of practical well programs, contractor evaluations, operating procedures and preliminary cost estimates;
• The advisers' recommendations will support the company's evaluation of potential well operations and future development planning in co-ordination with its local operating partners.

Experienced international engineering and operations leadership

Allan Albertson, PEng, petroleum engineering and reservoir development

Mr. Albertson brings 34 years of international petroleum engineering and operational experience covering drilling, completions, production engineering, reservoir characterization and field development. He has directly managed drilling, completion and well operations in more than 20 countries, including Turkey, and work in the Zagros basin. His projects include involving fractured carbonates, unconventional reservoirs, stimulation programs and horizontal well completions.

Throughout his career, Mr. Albertson has advised national oil companies, major exploration and production companies, junior international operators, and oil field service providers. He holds a bachelor of science in petroleum engineering from Montana Tech.

Dean Casorso, MBA, CET, drilling, completions and international operations

Mr. Casorso brings nearly 30 years of oil and gas experience spanning drilling and completion operations, project execution, corporate management, and international petroleum development. As president of Fire Creek Resources Ltd., a Calgary-based private producing company, he oversees operations, subsurface technical functions, regulatory matters, health, safety and environmental management, and corporate administration.

He has previously served as chief operating officer of a TSX Venture Exchange-listed oil and gas company and vice-president of international operations for a private exploration and production company with onshore and offshore activities in Southeast Asia. He also spent almost two decades with TotalEnergies, managing drilling, completion and well operations in Canada. His wider experience includes operations in Egypt, India and Kenya, and high-pressure, high-temperature and horizontal multistage-fracture wells.

Mr. Casorso holds an MBA from the University of Calgary's Haskayne School of Business and a diploma in petroleum technology from SAIT.
