CALGARY, ALBERTA Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Talisman
Energy Inc. (TSX: TLM) (NYSE: TLM), has tested the Hai Su Den (HSD)
exploration well offshore Vietnam. This was Talisman's second oil
discovery in Vietnam in 2007, following up on the Hai Su Trang
(HST) Miocene sandstone discovery on the same offshore block
announced earlier in the year.
The HSD well is located in Block 15-2/01, 50 miles off the east
coast of Vietnam on trend with large oil and gas discoveries in the
Cuu Long Basin. The well targeted a fractured basement reservoir
and was drilled to a total vertical depth of 11,168 feet,
encountering a hydrocarbon bearing interval of approximately 2,400
feet. The well tested at a peak rate of 13,450 bbls/d of light oil
and 6.87 mmcf/d of natural gas, constrained by test equipment.
"This is a very promising discovery," said John Manzoni,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "I am optimistic that our
two discoveries in Block 15-2/01 will form the basis of a new core
producing area for Talisman in Vietnam, with the potential for
upside from additional exploration wells."
The Thang Long Joint Operating Company, a special purpose joint
venture company established for the purposes of conducting all
operations on Block 15-2/01, plans to drill four more wildcat
exploration wells in 2008 to evaluate features on trend with the
HSD discovery. Talisman holds a 60% working interest share in any
commercial discoveries on Block 15-2/01 with PetroVietnam
Exploration and Production Company holding the remaining 40%.
