"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 disposition.
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.
