Exhibit 99.1
TRILLION ENERGY RECEIVES 47% NATURAL GAS PRICE HIKE to $30/MCF
Price increase will significantly enhance economics of upcoming drilling program
September 2, 2022 - Vancouver, B.C. - Trillion Energy International Inc. (“Trillion” or the “Company”) (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) recently received a price increase for the sale of natural gas from its SASB gas field to USD $30.68/Mcf effective September 1, 2022.
Regional natural gas prices have steadily increased this year, more than tripling since 2021. The September price of $31.68 represents a 47% increase over the prior month price for August 2022 of $20.83/mcf and a further increase of nearly 350% over the average price of $8.84/mcf in 2021.
The Company attributes the price increases to a supply squeeze caused by the Nord Stream pipeline shut down, nuclear power shut down in Germany, the regional conflict in Ukraine and other factors restricting regional energy supply.
Turkiye’s economy grew 7.6 percent year-over-year in the second quarter of 2022 according to the Turkish Statistical Institute’s August 31, 2022 report. The Company currently sells 100% of its production within Turkey, thus helping meet demand at a time of critical shortage.
Arthur Halleran CEO stated:
“We believe the recent price increases will significantly enhance the economic performance of our seven well drilling program set to commence next week at the SASB gas field. With seven wells producing, we will supply the region with much needed natural gas in a time of acute shortages and high prices”.
About the Company
Trillion Energy is an oil and gas producing company with multiple assets throughout Turkey and Bulgaria. The Company is 49% owner of the SASB natural gas field, one of the Black Sea’s first and largest-scale natural gas development projects; a 19.6% (except three wells with 9.8%) interest in the Cendere oil field; and in Bulgaria, the Vranino 1-11 block, a prospective unconventional natural gas property.

Exhibit 99.2
TRILLION ENERGY INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES SEPTEMBER 8TH AS URANUS RIG DEPARTURE DATE
The Uranus Rig is nearing the end of its preventative maintenance before mobilization
September 6, 2022 - Vancouver, B.C. - Trillion Energy International Inc. (“Trillion” or the “Company”) (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) provides an update on the status of the Uranus Rig mobilization to the SASB gas field. The Uranus Rig is slated to depart for SASB on September 8th and to arrive on September 11th. A detailed daily schedule is as follows:
| ● | September 5 – NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) operations in ballast Tank #2 | |
| ● | September 6 – Estimated completion of welding operations in ballast Tank #1, start NDT and painting | |
| ● | September 8 – Rig departure date | |
| ● | September 9 – PSU Altair ship arrives for loading of all equipment and materials from shore base to Akcakoca offshore platform | |
| ● | September 11 – Rig arrives at SASB |
Arthur Halleran CEO stated:
“As investors have been eagerly anticipating and requesting daily updates on the rig mobilization for our drilling program; I have been personally keeping on top of the rig status on a daily basis. I am confident the September 8th departure date will allow us the time to have the necessary rig repairs identified and completed.”
“As Trillion is now able to sell its natural gas production for US$30.68/mcf; and with the news today of Russia shutting off all natural gas supply from the Nord-Stream pipeline until sanctions are lifted, we expect further upward price pressure on natural gas to occur over the winter.”
“With the drilling rig arriving September 11th, the first new gas production is expected around the end of October, 2022 which will capture the high gas prices.”
The Company’s multi-well development program initially includes seven natural gas production wells set to come online during a time when acute natural gas shortages are menacing Europe and Turkey. Natural gas prices continue to spike, breaking historical records; the prospect of a cold winter looms with the worst shortages expected yet to come.
