Talisman owns about 74,000 acres of land in the Eagle Ford, where it has a joint venture with Norway's Statoil ASA , according to the company's website. Its production in the region averaged 15 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (mboe/d) in 2012, up from 5 mboe/d in 2011. Its full-year guidance is currently for around 30 mboe/d.Talisman has announced that it is considering the sale of $2 billion to $3 billion of non-core assets. But the company's holdings in the liquids-rich Eagle Ford have generally been considered among the company's best and therefore core.
not sure what to think. the science is credible, but the development curve is abnormally long and thinly funded.
stock could go up 100x in five years if product came to market.
or is that the bear out of its cage?

Press Release: Thursday, March 28, 2013

$900m for 2 jackuos of any kind sounds expensive. why not just pay $1.2B and get 2 drill ships?
barn burner as offshore industry consolidates
Technip needs the yards and people. LNG surge underway.
not refinancing, but actual debt pay down. a $100M reduction this year would be good start.
$593M in long term debt is absurd...that's a lot of dog bones!
the partnership with xom is to be a pattern occurring more frequently...(Tanzania and Russia). Like xom. Statoil is a class act and one of the best, if not the best offshore. The Walker Ridge block where Julia is located will likely prove to be the most productive petroleum system in the GOM.
the deep water Julia field was sanctioned for joint development by Xom and Sto. news reports suggest this is the biggest find in GOM by xom at 6 b bbl........the 1998 lease contains royalty relief provision that exempts fed gov payments until development costs recouped.
Julia was a 1998 lease which include the royalty relief exemption to stimulate deep water production. federal gov royalty payments are suspended until developments costs are recouped. if the 6 billion barrel number is correct than it is a giant
how does a 5% reveune gain in 3 yrs warrant a 100% share price increase? AIR
nflx needs to double their subscription cost
did someone yell fire?
earnings and growth suck. the market goes up because things are so bad the government will print more $$$
sick economy and booming stock market...QE is great for billionaires
get more offices and reps to sell wealth management products and services. this goes along with expanding boomer retiree base in need of money management.
value is compelling. Cheaper to buy production than build it
