"In addition to repositioning our business in the UK North Sea,
we delivered a strong operational quarter," said John A. Manzoni,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "With our recent UK North
Sea transaction, we continue to focus and strengthen our portfolio
while maintaining a strong balance sheet to weather current low
natural gas prices in North America. The new joint venture will
spend more on a gross basis to improve operating efficiency and
extend the life of these fields. The deal will reduce Talisman's
decommissioning liability in the UK, decrease future capital
commitments and brings forward significant cash. We plan to use
approximately $500 million of the proceeds to repurchase Talisman
shares.
"Production during the quarter was 435,000 boe/d, up 4% year
over year, driven by growth in Southeast Asia and North American
shale. Shale volumes are up 50% from last year. We continue to
deliver strong results in the liquids-rich Eagle Ford, which
accounts for the bulk of our North American spending. Marcellus gas
volumes continue to be strong despite significantly reduced
drilling activity in the current gas price environment.
"Our Southeast Asia business delivered excellent results, with
production growth of 12% compared to last year and natural gas
prices averaging $9.48 per mcf for the quarter. We have received
approval from PETRONAS to take over a producing asset, the Kinabalu
block, in Malaysia. This is a new type of production contract to
encourage further development of mature fields.
"In our exploration portfolio, we have completed drilling the
Kurdamir-2 well. We have logged hydrocarbons in the Oligocene and
Cretaceous zones and are currently preparing to test. In Colombia,
we have sanctioned our Piedemonte development, where we have three
rigs drilling. Elsewhere in Colombia, we are drilling in the
foothills and progressing to test our heavy oil blocks. Our
drilling program in PNG continues to be successful, and we have
received government approval for our partnership with
Mitsubishi.
"In summary, we have delivered a strong quarter operationally,
with production up 4%. We have more than delivered on the
divestments we promised earlier this year, ensuring we maintain a
strong balance sheet, and we will continue to focus the portfolio.
We plan to use some of the UK joint venture proceeds to buy back
Talisman stock, which we believe to be good value at current
prices."

Cash flow(3) was $803 million compared to $897 million in the
same period last year, due mainly to weaker commodity prices and
higher operating expenses, partially offset by lower cash taxes and
a lower realized loss on held-for-trading financial
instruments.
Net income was down as a result of weaker commodity prices, a
smaller recovery on share-based payments, higher operating
expenses, higher DD&A, and asset impairments, partially offset
by a larger gain on asset disposals, lower exploration costs and
lower income taxes. Earnings from operations were also down as a
result of weaker commodity prices, higher operating costs and
DD&A, partially offset by lower exploration costs, lower
deferred taxes and a lower realized loss on held-for-trading
financial instruments.
Exploration and development spending(3) in the quarter was $1
billion. Net debt(3) at the end of the second quarter was $4.1
billion, relatively unchanged from $4 billion at the end of the
first quarter.

We are well positioned in some of the top-tier shale plays in
North America. We are shifting our focus to the liquids-rich parts
of our portfolio and expect to grow our liquids production from
approximately 25,000 bbls/d in 2012 to over 60,000 bbls/d by
2015.
In North America, production averaged 201,000 boe/d for the
second quarter, up 19% from a year ago. Oil and liquids volumes
increased by 22%, with natural gas production up 19%. Volumes
listed as "assets sold" include 2,350 bbls/d of liquids.
Capital expenditure totalled $399 million, of which 90% was
related to shale activity. The majority of this was spent on
progressing development of the liquids-rich Eagle Ford program,
where overall production averaged 13,800 boe/d (83 mmcfe/d).
Liquids production averaged 7,000 bbls/d compared to 1,000 bbl/d in
the same quarter in 2011.
As signalled at the beginning of the year, Talisman is actively
reducing capital spending in the Marcellus due to low natural gas
prices. Gas production averaged 545 mmcf/d, an increase of 34% over
the same quarter last year. It is expected to decrease over the
coming months as a result of the ramp down in activity. Operating
costs for the quarter included $11 million for the recently
introduced Pennsylvania impact fee, which included $7 million for
prior year costs.
In the Montney and other pilots, production was up slightly over
the previous quarter, averaging 76 mmcfe/d. During the quarter,
Talisman made the decision not to proceed with the next phase of
Sasol Canada's GTL (gas-to-liquids) project. This does not impact
the company's upstream joint venture agreement with Sasol.
In the liquids-rich Duvernay, the company drilled the third well
of its 2012 six-well pilot program. Talisman plans to drill the
next three wells in the southern portion of our holdings in the
second half of the year.

Southeast Asia is expected to grow at an average of
approximately 8% per year through the medium term. The majority of
Talisman's gas sales contracts here are linked to oil price
benchmarks. This region is one of the fastest growing natural gas
markets in the world.
Liquids production averaged 41,000 bbls/d in the quarter, an
increase of 24% over the same quarter last year. This is primarily
due to the ramp up at Jambi Merang and the addition of Kitan in
October 2011. Natural gas sales for the second quarter averaged 528
mmcf/d, with prices averaging $9.48/mcf.
In Malaysia, production averaged 37,000 boe/d in the quarter.
Talisman has drilled six wells of an eight-well program in PM-3 CAA
Northern Fields, with five wells now on production. All wells are
meeting or exceeding expectations. During the quarter, PETRONAS
formally awarded Talisman a 60% working interest in a new
production sharing contract for continuing production, further
development and improved oil recovery from Kinabalu, which lies
within the Sabah region offshore Malaysia. Talisman assumes
operatorship in December of this year.
In Indonesia, production was 5% higher than the same period last
year (12% higher when normalized to account for Suban unitization)
due principally to increased volumes at Jambi Merang and Tangguh.
The Corridor PSC is maintaining production at record levels of over
1 bcf/d gross sales gas.
In Vietnam, production has remained steady at an average of
2,000 bbls/d. The Hai Su Trang and Hai Su Den development is
progressing on schedule and on budget, with first production
planned for the second half of 2013.
In Papua New Guinea, the Stanley condensate recovery scheme was
sanctioned by Talisman in June. This liquids project is expected to
start production in late 2014.

The North Sea is an important part of the company's portfolio.
We will continue to maximize value from our UK assets through the
recent joint venture agreement with Sinopec.
In July, Talisman announced a joint venture agreement where
Sinopec will acquire a 49% equity interest in Talisman's UK North
Sea business for $1.5 billion. The joint venture will invest to
improve ongoing operating performance, as well as infill drilling
and major projects, thereby extending field life and deferring
decommissioning. The joint venture will proportionately reduce
Talisman's share of capital spending, production and abandonment
liabilities for its UK business. The transaction is expected to
close by year-end.
During the quarter, production in the North Sea decreased by 29%
relative to the same period in 2011. In the UK, the decrease
related to planned turnarounds, shut-ins to repair a gas export
pipeline, and mechanical issues at several sites. The decrease in
Norway was due principally to reduced rates at Brage and Gyda, and
shutdown work at Brage and Rev.
Production is expected to increase toward the end of the year
with the contribution from infill wells, completion of planned
maintenance and the resolution of mechanical issues. During the
quarter, the first of several planned infill wells at Clyde was
drilled and an infill well at Rev commenced drilling. Following the
Rev well, the rig will move to Varg to drill two infill wells on
the field.
Colombia
In Colombia, the development of Equion's Piedemonte complex is
proceeding with the recent sanctioning of a major facilities
expansion and a three-rig drilling program underway. In the
foothills region, the Huron-2 appraisal well continues to drill. An
environmental permit has been issued for block CPO-9, and we are
moving to progress testing.
International Exploration
Talisman is focusing its exploration spending in areas that have
high impact and a greater potential for large discoveries. This
next phase of our exploration program includes near-term oil growth
and large Asian gas opportunities. We continue to evaluate new
plays as part of our unconventional and deepwater strategy.
In the Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq, the Kurdamir-2
exploration well has reached its target total depth of 4,000
metres, and drillstem testing in the Cretaceous pay zone identified
on logs is being initiated. Depending on results, an extended well
test in either the Cretaceous or Oligocene zone will be considered.
After completing operations on Kurdamir-2, Talisman intends to
enter the next exploration period of the Kurdamir licence and drill
a follow-up appraisal well, Kurdamir-3.
In Papua New Guinea, the Weimang-1 exploration well found gas in
line with pre-drill expectations. Talisman will now move onto the
Puk Puk-2 appraisal well and is confident that its gas aggregation
strategy in the Western Province remains on track.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this news
release to "Talisman" or the "company" include, for reporting
purposes only, the direct or indirect subsidiaries of Talisman
Energy Inc. and the partnership interests held by Talisman Energy
Inc. and its subsidiaries. Such use of "Talisman" or the "company"
to refer to these other legal entities and partnership interests
does not constitute waiver by Talisman Energy Inc. or such entities
or partnerships of their separate legal status, for any
purpose.
The completion of any contemplated disposition or acquisition is
contingent on various factors, including favourable market
conditions, the ability of the company to negotiate acceptable
terms of sale and receipt of any required approvals for such

Oil and Gas Information
Throughout this news release, Talisman makes reference to
production volumes. Unless otherwise stated, such production
volumes are stated on a gross basis, which means they are stated
prior to the deduction of royalties and similar payments. In the
US, net production volumes are reported after the deduction of
these amounts.
Barrel of oil equivalent (boe) throughout this news release is
calculated at a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet (mcf) of
natural gas for one barrel of oil (bbl). This news release also
includes reference to mcf equivalents (mcfes) which are calculated
at a conversion rate of one barrel of oil to 6,000 cubic feet of
gas. Boes and mcfes may be misleading, particularly if used in
isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf:1 bbl and an mcfe
conversion ratio of 1 bbl: 6 mcf are based on an energy equivalence
conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does
not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
Talisman also discloses its company netbacks in this news
release. Netbacks per boe are calculated by deducting from sales
price associated royalties, operating and transportation costs.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Included in this news release are references to financial
measures commonly used in the oil and gas industry such as cash
flow, earnings from operations, exploration and development
spending and net debt. These terms are not defined by International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Consequently, these are
referred to as non-GAAP measures. Talisman's reported results of
such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies.

Cash flow, as commonly used in the oil and gas industry,
represents net income before exploration costs, DD&A, deferred
taxes and other non-cash expenses. Cash flow is used by the company
to assess operating results between years and between peer
companies using different accounting policies. Cash flow should not
be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, cash
provided by operating, investing and financing activities or net
income as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the
company's performance or liquidity. Cash flow per share is cash
flow divided by the average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted cash flow per share is cash flow divided
by the diluted number of common shares outstanding during the
period, as reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements filed on August 1, 2012. A reconciliation of cash
provided by operating activities to cash flow is provided

financial instruments.
2. Share-based payments relate principally to the mark-to-market value of
the company's outstanding stock options and cash units at June 30. The
company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair
value of its share-based payment plans.
3. Pennsylvania impact fee amount represents the one-time impact of the
retrospective application of the legislation to wells drilled pre-2012.
Q2 2012 amount represents revision to prior period estimate of the

4. Deferred tax adjustments largely comprise tax on foreign exchange on tax
pools.
Earnings from operations are calculated by adjusting the
company's net income per the financial statements for certain items
of a non-operational nature, on an after tax basis. The company
uses this information to evaluate performance of core operational
activities on a comparable basis between periods. Earnings from
operations per share are earnings from operations divided by the
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings from operations per share are earnings from
operations divided by the diluted number of common shares
outstanding during the period, as reported in the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements filed on August 1, 2012. A
reconciliation of net income to earnings from operations is
provided above.
