'2011 saw its share of successes as well as challenges for the company,' said John A. Manzoni, President and Chief Executive Officer. 'North American natural gas prices fell by a third, ending the year below $3, and we saw a significant tax increase in the UK. In addition, our own delivery, particularly in the North Sea, fell short of expectations.
'There were also a large number of positives during the year. Oil prices remained high and helped drive annual cash flow up by 16%. The company grew underlying production by 9% with record shale volumes, two new projects in Southeast Asia and production from Colombia. We have built out our Eagle Ford organization to full capacity from a standing start and started piloting the liquids-rich Duvernay shale, which we will test through this year.
'We have an active exploration and appraisal drilling program in Colombia, which continues to demonstrate success. We drilled two encouraging development wells in Piedemonte and continue to appraise Block 6 and the Akacias discovery in Block 9. In Southeast Asia, gas prices averaged $9.30/mcf in 2011, and the business is expected to grow at an average rate of approximately 8% per year over the next few years.
'Talisman drilled a successful gas condensate well at year-end in Papua New Guinea (PNG), providing ongoing confidence in our gas aggregation strategy. We are also making excellent progress towards bringing in a strategic partner. In the Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq, we have confirmed a substantial natural gas and condensate discovery with our recent Topkhana well.
'We have reduced replacement costs by 50% over the last three years, improving our long-term profitability. In 2011, our reserves replacement cost was less than $20/boe, with costs in North America less than $10/boe. We replaced 157% of production with proved reserves last year.
'In setting our plans for 2012, our expectation is that North American gas prices will remain low, but that oil will be underpinned at $85/bbl or more. Our priorities are profitability versus headline growth, while preserving our balance sheet. We will reduce exploration and development spending from approximately $4.5 billion to around $4 billion, with 80% of this investment directed towards liquids-rich opportunities. Areas of increased investment this year will include the liquids-rich Eagle Ford and Duvernay shale plays, as well as Colombia.
'We will continue to focus our portfolio and seek to divest some non-core assets in our North American business, reduce our exposure in the North Sea, and take decisions on exiting some exploration areas as we drill them over the course of the next 12 months. Talisman's balanced portfolio provides options to redirect capital, and to adjust focus as external conditions change.
'As a result of the reduction in spending and the shift to liquids, we expect underlying production growth of 0 - 5% this year. However, we are setting Talisman up for an increase in liquids production in 2013 and beyond. For example, we expect to grow liquids production in North America from approximately 25,000 bbls/d in 2012 to over 60,000 bbls/d by 2015. And we remain confident in our projection of 5 - 10% average annual production growth through the medium term.'

Cash flow was $3.4 billion for the year, up from $3.0 billion in 2010, with higher oil prices offsetting higher royalties, operating expenses and cash taxes. Cash flow for the quarter was $824 million versus $659 million a year ago.
Net income was $776 million versus $945 million in 2010, reflecting higher DD&A with new projects in Southeast Asia and the acquisition of producing assets in Colombia; lower gains on asset sales in 2011; higher operating expenses and taxes; and lower mark-to-market gains on derivatives. The company recorded a net loss of $117 million in the fourth quarter, compared to a net loss of $350 million in 2010.
Earnings from operations, which exclude non-operational items, were $604 million in 2011, compared to $552 million in 2010.
Exploration and development spending(2) for the year totaled $4.6 billion. North America accounted for 49% of spending, the North Sea 27%, and Southeast Asia 15%. Year-end net debt(2) was $4.5 billion.

We are shifting our focus to the liquids-rich parts of our portfolio. We expect to grow our liquids production in North America from approximately 25,000 bbls/d in 2012, to over 60,000 bbls/d by 2015.
North American exploration and development spending for the year was $2.2 billion, the majority of which was spent in the Marcellus and Eagle Ford shale plays.
Production from ongoing operations increased by 37%, with natural gas production increasing by 41% due principally to successful development in the Marcellus and Eagle Ford. Shale production doubled year over year, averaging 500 mmcfe/d.
In the Marcellus we ended the year with 10 operated rigs. Production is expected to remain relatively flat going forward as we reduce activity in light of low natural gas prices. The company may reduce to as few as three rigs over the course of the year.
In the liquids-rich Eagle Ford we ended the year with 10 operated rigs. In 2012, we expect this to increase to 14 rigs. Production is expected to at least double from approximately 30 mmcfe/d as we build out our drilling programs and secure access to additional egress.
In the Montney, we plan to reduce our program to four rigs, from 11 in the fourth quarter of last year, primarily due to low gas prices. We will continue our program to optimize recovery in the thick Montney shale.
In the second quarter of the year, Talisman acquired a significant amount of acreage in the liquids-rich Duvernay shale in Alberta, where we now hold approximately 360,000 net acres. We commenced a pilot program last year and plan to drill at least six wells in 2012.
The company continued to develop its conventional assets with exploration and development spending of more than $400 million. This year we will focus on expanding our liquids-rich Wild River play, as well as continuing the pilot programs in the Cardium oil and wet gas windows.

Southeast Asia is a self-funding growth area with natural gas prices averaging $9.30/mcf in 2011. The majority of our gas sales contracts in the region are linked to oil price benchmarks. We achieved solid delivery against production and profitability objectives in 2011 and expect more of the same this year.
Natural gas sales totaled 506 mmcf/d, an increase of 4% year over year as a result of improved production efficiency at PM-3 and the startup of Jambi Merang. Overall annual oil and gas production was flat compared to the prior year due to turnarounds, natural declines and a one-time re-determination in 2010 of the South Angsi field in Malaysia. Talisman's exploration and development spending in the region was $695 million.
In Malaysia, overall annual production from ongoing operations was unchanged year over year. In PM-3 CAA, the company focused on optimization initiatives to support strong regional natural gas demand, increasing gas production by 15%.
In Indonesia, fourth quarter gas production was 11% higher over the same period last year, due to Jambi Merang producing for a full quarter and higher uptime at Tangguh. Ongoing facilities development at Corridor continues to secure gas production for long-term supply contracts.
In December, the Suban field was unitized with an adjacent PSC, reducing Talisman's share in the field from 36% to approximately 32%. This reduced year-end reserves and will impact production by approximately 4,500 boe/d; this has been factored into 2012 guidance.
In Vietnam, production averaged 1,900 bbls/d. The Hai Su Trang and Hai Su Den (HST/HSD) development was sanctioned in December 2011, with first production planned for the second half of 2013.
Production in Australia averaged 4,600 bbls/d, an increase of 31% over the previous year, with the commissioning of the Kitan field completed in the fourth quarter.

We continue to invest in the North Sea to maintain the integrity of a mature set of assets and to improve operational efficiency in order to sustain steady production.
North Sea exploration and development spending was $1.2 billion in 2011, focused on developments at Auk South and Auk North in the UK, Yme in Norway and the Claymore replacement compression project in the UK.
The region contributed $600 million for reinvestment elsewhere in the business in a high netback environment. Production decreased 19% year over year, averaging 106,000 boe/d as a result of extended turnarounds and natural reservoir declines.
In the UK, a planned turnaround at Claymore was extended to complete remediation work in the third quarter; production recommenced early in the fourth quarter. The UK Tartan platform, which was shut down throughout the fourth quarter for safety-related upgrades, is expected to recommence production by the end of the first quarter of 2012.
In Norway, after the annual turnaround was completed at Rev, issues related to the host platform delayed the restart of production until the end of the third quarter. Natural declines also contributed to reduced production in the year. Work to ensure the Yme platform meets contract requirements and Norwegian specifications continues to be behind schedule. Talisman is in discussions with the contractor to agree the best path to improving productivity, and completing the necessary work. We expect to be able to define a path forward during the first quarter of 2012.
International Exploration
The major focus of the exploration program this year will be Colombia, where we are in the process of moving discoveries in CPO-9 and CPE-6 from the evaluation phase into commerciality. We will continue to high grade the exploration portfolio by seeking new organic options and rationalizing others at an earlier stage in the cycle.
In Colombia, production averaged 13,400 boe/d in 2011. In the Piedemonte development, two development wells were successfully drilled with encouraging results, and two additional development wells were spudded in the third quarter. Drilling continues, with two rigs currently in the field.
In the heavy oil region of Colombia, a portion of CPE-6 was converted to an Exploration and Production Contract following the success of our stratigraphic well program. Talisman is participating in a six-well stratigraphic/appraisal drilling program, expected to finish in the early part of 2012. In block CPO-9, the Akacias-1 well has produced over 325,000 boe since May 2011 on a long-term test. In the fourth quarter, the first appraisal well on the Akacias structure was drilled and will be tested this year. We intend to continue appraisal activity on the field and will seek a declaration of commerciality in 2012.
In Papua New Guinea, the Stanley appraisal well confirmed the existence of a significant gas accumulation. The Horizon-operated Elevala-2 well that was drilling over year-end 2011 was side-tracked and then rig released in late January 2012, with initial gas and liquid results that are very encouraging. Talisman remains confident in our target to successfully aggregate 2 - 4 tcf of gas. The company is also making excellent progress to bring in a strategic partner.
In Peru, Talisman spudded the Situche Norte-4X exploration well, which is currently drilling. In the Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq, the Topkhana-1 exploration well finished drilling with a significant gas and condensate discovery, and the Kurdamir-2 exploration well was spudded. In Poland, Talisman drilled the first exploration well of a three-well program and spudded the second well in December. In Indonesia, Talisman drilled the Lempuk-1 deepwater well, which has been plugged and abandoned with gas shows.

Oil and Gas Information
Reserves
National Instrument 51-101 ('NI 51-101') of the Canadian Securities Administrators imposes oil and gas disclosure standards for Canadian public companies engaged in oil and gas activities. Talisman has obtained an exemption from Canadian securities regulatory authorities to permit it to provide certain disclosures in accordance with the US disclosure standards, in addition to the disclosure mandated by NI 51-101, in order to provide for comparability of oil and gas disclosure with that provided by US and other international issuers. Accordingly, the reserves data and certain other oil and gas information included in this news release are disclosed in accordance with US disclosure standards.
A separate exemption granted to Talisman also permits it to disclose internally evaluated reserves data. Any reserves and resources data contained in this news release reflects Talisman's estimates of its reserves and resources. While Talisman annually obtains an independent audit of a portion of its proved and probable reserves, no independent qualified reserves evaluator or auditor was involved in the preparation of the reserves and resources data disclosed in this news release.
Production and Reserves Volumes
Unless otherwise stated, production volumes and reserves estimates are stated on a company interest basis prior to the deduction of royalties and similar payments. In the US, net production volumes and reserve estimates are reported after the deduction of these amounts.
Reserve Replacement
The reserves replacement ratio was calculated by dividing the sum of yearly changes (discoveries, extensions and additions and other revisions, before acquisitions and dispositions and excluding price revisions) to estimated proved oil and gas reserves during 2011 by the company's production for 2011. The company uses reserves replacement ratio as an indicator of the company's ability to replenish annual production volumes and grow its reserves. It should be noted that reserves replacement ratio is a statistical indicator that has limitations. As an annual measure, the ratio is limited because it typically varies widely, based on the extent and timing of new discoveries, project sanctioning and property acquisitions. Its predictive and comparative value is also limited for the same reasons. In addition, since the ratio does not include cost, value or timing of future production of new reserves, it cannot be used as a measure of value creation.
Replacement Costs
In this news release, Talisman discloses a reduction in replacement costs. Replacement costs are used by the company to determine the cost of reserves additions in a period. Talisman's reported replacement costs may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Replacement costs may not reflect full cycle replacement costs. Replacement costs' predictive and comparative value is limited for the aforementioned reasons. Replacement costs are calculated by dividing exploration and development capital spending (including discontinued operations, but excluding midstream) by gross proved reserves additions.
BOE Conversion
Throughout this news release, barrels of oil equivalent (boe) are 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 references to mcf equivalents (mcfes) which are calculated at a conversion rate of one barrel of oil to six thousand cubic feet of gas. Boes and Mcfes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6mcf:1bbl and an mcfe conversion ratio of 1bbl:6mcf are based on an energy equivalence conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and do not represent a value equivalency at the well head.
Netbacks
Talisman also discloses netbacks for the company in this news release. Netbacks per boe are calculated by deducting from the sales price associated royalties, operating and transportation costs.
US Dollars and IFRS
Dollar amounts are presented in US dollars, except where otherwise indicated. The financial information in this news release is presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). IFRS differs from generally accepted accounting principles in the US.
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, capital expenditures including exploration expensed and net debt. These terms are not defined by 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 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. A reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to cash flow is provided above.

1. Unrealized loss (gain) on financial instruments relates to the change in
the period of the mark-to-market value of the company's outstanding
commodity derivatives that are classified as held-for-trading 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 December 31.
The company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the
fair value of its share-based payment plans.
3. Deferred tax adjustments include deferred taxes relating to unrealized
foreign exchange gains and losses associated with the impact of
fluctuations in the Canadian dollar on foreign denominated debt,
intercompany loans and tax pool balances, as well as a remeasurement of
UK deferred tax assets and liabilities in response to a statutory rate
change.
Earnings from operations are calculated by adjusting the company's net income (loss) 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 should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the company's performance or liquidity. 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. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to earnings from operations is provided above.

RESERVE ESTIMATES
The following tables sets forth Talisman's reserves as at December 31, 2011. The reserves estimates included in these tables were prepared using the standards of the US Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC'), which requires that proved and probable reserves be estimated using existing economic conditions. The price used for calculating reserves is an unweighted arithmetic average of the historic first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the completed 12-month period unless the prices are defined by contractual obligations (excluding escalations based on future conditions).

1. 'Proved' reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by
analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with
reasonable certainty to be economically producible - from a given date
forward, from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions,
operating methods and government regulations, prior to the time at which
contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence
indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether
deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for estimation.
2. 'Proved Developed' reserves are those reserves that can be expected to
be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and
operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is
relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well. Additional oil and
gas expected to be obtained through installed extraction equipment and
infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate are
included as proved developed reserves.
3. 'Proved Undeveloped' reserves are those reserves that are expected to be
recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells
for which a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.
Inclusion of reserves on undrilled acreage is limited to those directly
offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of
production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology
exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility
at greater distances.
4. 'Probable' reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain
to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved
reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered. Probable reserves can be
assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if
these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir. Includes
reserves assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to proved reserves
where data control or interpretations of available data are less
certain, even if interpreted reservoir continuity of structure or
productivity does not meet the reasonable certainty criterion.
5. 'Probable Developed' reserves are those reserves that are less certain
to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and
operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is
relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well. Additional oil and
gas expected to be obtained through installed extraction equipment and
infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate are
included as probable developed reserves.
6. 'Probable Undeveloped' reserves are those reserves that are less certain
to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing
wells for which a relatively major expenditure is required for
recompletion.
7. 'Gross' reserves refer to the sum of (i) working interest reserves
before deduction of royalty burdens payable, and (ii) royalty interest
reserves. The Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ('COGEH') refers
to this sum of reserves as 'Company interest reserves'. Royalty interest
reserves for Canada were approximately 0.6 mmboe (proved) and 0.2 mmboe
(probable) as at December 31, 2011. The inclusion of royalty interest
volumes in gross reserves does not conform to COGEH standards applicable
under NI 51-101.
8. 'Net' reserves are the remaining reserves of Talisman, after deduction
of estimated royalty burdens and including royalty interests in the
amount set out in note 7 above.
9. Interests of various governments, other than working interests or income
taxes, are accounted for as royalties. Royalties are reflected in 'net'
reserves using effective rates over the life of the contract.
10. Reserves reported under Colombia include those reserves held through
Talisman's 49% interest in Equion, which is accounted for using
proportionate consolidation, as well as those reserves attributed to
Talisman's other Colombia assets.
11. December 31, 2008 reserves are based on a single day December 31, 2008
pricing methodology.
