TALISMAN ENERGY RENEWS NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

CALGARY, Alberta - March 26, 2007 - Talisman Energy Inc. has made the necessary filings in order to continue to purchase its common shares from time to time in accordance with the normal course issuer bid procedures under Canadian securities laws.

Pursuant to a notice filed with the Toronto Stock Exchange, Talisman may purchase for cancellation, during the 12-month period commencing March 28, 2007 and ending March 27, 2008, up to 104,732,244 of its common shares, representing 10% of the public float of approximately 1,047,322,438 common shares outstanding as at March 19, 2007.

The purchases will be made through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. The purchase and payment for the common shares will be made by the Company in accordance with the policies of the exchange through which the common shares are purchased.
