FOR: TALISMAN ENERGY INC. TSX, NYSE SYMBOL: TLM September 3, 2003 Talisman Energy Drilling Success Leads to Natural Gas Production Records at Bigstone/Wild River and Whitecourt CALGARY, ALBERTA--Successful drilling by Talisman Energy Inc. has led to record high natural gas production rates in a number of the Company's core areas in Western Canada. In Bigstone/Wild River, Talisman has drilled 25 operated wells year-to-date with a 100% success rate. The Company is currently operating four rigs. Talisman plans to drill an additional 12 operated wells and participate in several non-operated wells prior to year-end. Spending in the area in 2003 is expected to be $132 million. Initial production rates from the new wells have been excellent, including 11-24-57-24W5 at 6.3 mmcf/d, 6-2-57-24W5 at 6 mmcf/d, 3-14-57-24W5 at 5.6 mmcf/d, 2-24-57-23W5 at 5.2 mmcf/d and 6-18-57-23W5 at 3.5 mmcf/d. Talisman operates two plants in the Bigstone/Wild River area. The Wild River plant was expanded in 2002 and connected to the Talisman Central Foothills Gas Gathering System, resulting in an additional 33 mmcf/d directed to the Talisman-operated Edson Gas Plant. Plans for further expansion in the fourth quarter of 2003 are in place. Record production rates have been achieved in Talisman's core Cretaceous play and the Bigstone/Wild River area is currently producing 85 mmcf/d. In Whitecourt, Talisman has achieved record production and is currently producing over 50 mmcf/d, following a successful winter drilling program. Year-to-date, 13 operated wells have been drilled with an 85% success rate. The Company will be operating three rigs in the area during the fourth quarter, adding 14 operated locations prior to the end of the year. Spending in the area in 2003 is expected to be $41 million. Talisman has 616,000 net undeveloped acres in the Bigstone/Wild River and Whitecourt areas. The Company is planning another active drilling program in 2004 in the area.
