This news release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements
or forward-looking information (collectively "forward-looking statements")
within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. These forward-looking
statements include statements regarding: peak production estimates from the
Blane field; drilling plans; transportation plans; and other expectations,
beliefs, plans, goals, objectives, assumptions, information and statements about
possible future events, conditions, results of operations or performance.

Often, but not always, forward-looking statements use words or phrases such as:
"expects," "does not expect" or "is expected," "anticipates" or "does not
anticipate," "plans" or "planned," "estimates" or "estimated," "projects" or
"projected," "forecasts" or "forecasted," "believes," "intends," "likely,"
"possible," "probable," "scheduled," "positioned," "goals," or "objectives" or
state that certain actions, events or results "may," "could," "would," "might"
or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.

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 US,
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.
