Do you think it's possible to make territory here?

I don’t think so either. White can easily make two eyes with E17 and B13, so even seki seems impossible.

Of course in general it depends on how your opponent plays, so as long as you’re playing forcing moves (in this case moves that threaten to capture or make eyes), it might be possible to swing a lost game around. Personally I don’t like playing those kind of games against people who make desperate attempts to win; it only works if your opponent will make an exploitable mistake.

In this game, however, black is already comfortably ahead (it’s this game, right?), so you don’t have to do anything.
