Talisman Energy Inc.



Talisman North Sea Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Talisman Energy Inc.,
has commenced production from the Enoch field.

The Enoch field is located 160 miles northeast of Aberdeen and straddles the UK
and Norwegian sectors in UKCS Block 16/13a and NCS Block 15/5 (unitized at 80%
and 20%, respectively).

"The Enoch discovery has passed through a number of operators since 1985. We are
pleased to have brought this cross-border field to production in a short period
of time since acquiring the field along with other Paladin assets," said Dr. Jim
Buckee, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We appreciate the assistance
given by the UK and Norwegian Governments in resolving the cross-border issues."

The Enoch Field was discovered in 1985. Talisman North Sea Limited drilled the
single horizontal development well in 2006, which is expected to produce at a
peak rate of 15,000 boe/d. Enoch production will be transported to and processed
at the Brae Alpha facility, some 10 miles to the northwest of Enoch. Oil will be
exported via the Forties pipeline network.

Talisman North Sea Limited (25.2%) is the operator. Remaining unitized interest
includes Dyas UK Limited (14.0%), Bow Valley Petroleum (UK) Limited (12.0%), Roc
Oil (GB) Limited (12.0%), Dana Petroleum (E&P) Limited (8.8%), Endeavour Energy

Enoch field; intended pipeline network and processing facility to be utilized;
business plans; and other expectations, beliefs, plans, goals, objectives,
assumptions, information and statements about possible future events,

Often, but not always, forward-looking statements use words or phrases such as:

Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and
projections that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause
actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by Talisman and
described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include:

    --  the risks of the oil and gas industry, such as operational risks in
        exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas,
        market demand and unpredictable facilities outages;

    --  risks and uncertainties involving geology of oil and gas deposits;

    --  the uncertainty of reserves estimates, reserves life and underlying
        reservoir risk;

    --  the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production,
        costs and expenses;

    --  potential delays or changes in plans with respect to development
        projects;

    --  risk that adequate pipeline capacity to transport the gas to market may
        not be available;

    --  health, safety and environmental risks;

    --  changes to general economic and business conditions;

    --  the possibility that government policies or laws may change or
        governmental approvals may be delayed or withheld; and

    --  the Company's ability to implement its business strategy.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of risks and uncertainties is not
exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors which could affect
the Company's operations or financial results are included: (1) under the
heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Information Form; and (2) under
the headings "Management's Discussion and Analysis - Risk Factors" and elsewhere
in the Company's 2006 Annual Financial Report. Additional information may be
found in the Company's other reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory
authorities and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of the
Company's management at the time the statements are made. The Company assumes no
obligation to update forward-looking statements should circumstances or
management's estimates or opinions change, except as required by law.

Gross Production

In this news release, Talisman makes reference to estimated production volumes.
Such production volumes are estimated on a gross basis, which means they are
estimated prior to the deduction of royalties and similar payments. In the U.S.,
net production volumes are reported after the deduction of these amounts.

Boe conversion

In this news release, the calculation of barrels of oil equivalent (boe) is
calculated at a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet (mcf) of natural gas
for one barrel of oil and is based on an energy equivalence conversion method.
Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion
ratio of 6 mcf:1 bbl is based on an energy equivalence conversion method
primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalence at the wellhead.
