Detailed description Repsol is a Spanish multinational oil and gas company engaged in the exploration, production, refining, and distribution of petroleum products and the generation of electricity.

A noteworthy debt instrument, the Repsol bond identified by ISIN US87425EAK91 and CUSIP 87425EAK9, presents an interesting profile for fixed-income investors, denominated in US Dollars (USD) and featuring a substantial annual coupon rate of 6.25%, with interest payments structured on a semi-annual basis, providing regular income to bondholders until its maturity on January 31, 2038; notably, despite the issuer, Repsol, being a Spanish multinational, this specific bond was issued from Canada and is currently trading at 108% of its par value in the market, reflecting its premium status, likely attributable to its attractive coupon rate relative to prevailing market yields or strong demand, while the issuer itself, Repsol S.A., is a globally recognized integrated energy and petrochemical company headquartered in Madrid, Spain, holding a significant position across the entire energy value chain encompassing upstream exploration and production, midstream natural gas and LNG, downstream refining and marketing, and a growing portfolio in renewable energy and advanced materials, thereby solidifying its role as a key player in the global energy transition.

6.250% Notes due 2038
The notes will bear interest at the rate of 6.250% per year. We will pay interest on the notes semi-annually in
arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning February 1, 2007. The notes will mature on February 1,
2038. We may redeem some or all of the notes at any time, at 100% of their principal amount plus a make-whole
premium as described in this prospectus supplement. We may also redeem all (and not less than all) of the notes if
certain changes affecting Canadian withholding taxes occur. The notes do not have the benefit of any sinking fund.
The notes will be our unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness.
Investing in the notes involves risks that are described in the ``Risk Factors'' section beginning on page 23 of the
accompanying prospectus.
We are permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, to
prepare this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure
requirements which are different from those of the United States. We prepare our financial statements in accordance
with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence
standards. As a result, they may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies in certain
respects. Information regarding the impact upon our financial statements of significant differences between Canadian
and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles is contained in the notes to the annual consolidated financial
statements incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus.
Owning the notes may subject you to tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. This prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus may not describe these tax consequences fully. You should read the tax
discussion in this prospectus supplement.
Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely because we
are incorporated in Canada, some or all of our officers and directors and some or all of the experts named in this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are residents of Canada, and a substantial portion of our
assets and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved
of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete.
Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This document contains or incorporates statements that constitute ``forward-looking statements''
within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any
statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, business strategy, budgets,
exploration and development opportunities or projects, acquisitions and dispositions, expectations,
beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using
words or phrases such as ``expects'' or ``does not expect'', ``is expected'', ``anticipates'' or ``does not
anticipate'', ``plans'', ``projects'', ``believes'', ``forecasts'', ``estimates'', ``intends'', ``possible'', ``probable'',
``scheduled'', ``likely'' or ``positioned'', or stating that certain actions, events or results ``may'', ``could'',
``should'', ``would'', ``might'' or ``will'' be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical
fact and may be ``forward-looking statements''. In addition, our statements relating to our targeted
production per share growth of approximately 5% to 10% annually from 2006 through 2009 are
``forward-looking statements''. Such statements are included, among other places, in this document
under the headings ``Talisman Energy Inc.'' and ``Recent Developments'', in the prospectus under the
heading ``Risk Factors'', in our Annual Information Form under the headings ``General Development of
the Business'', ``Description of the Business'', ``Legal Proceedings'' and ``Risk Factors'', in the

concerning oil and gas reserves contained in the Annual Information Form under ``Description of the
Business--Reserves Estimates'' and ``Description of the Business--Other Oil and Gas Information'' or
in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and elsewhere
also may be deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment, based on
certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources described can be profitably produced in
the future.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections at the time the statements are
made that involve a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated by us. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
· the risks of the oil and gas industry such as operational risks in exploring for, developing and
producing crude oil and natural gas and market demand;
· risks and uncertainties involving geology of oil and gas deposits;
· the uncertainty of reserves estimates and reserves life;
· the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses;
· potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or
capital expenditures;
· fluctuations in oil and gas prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates;
· the outcome and effects of completed acquisitions, as well as any potential future acquisitions
and dispositions;
· our ability to integrate assets we have acquired or may acquire or the performance of
those assets;
· health, safety and environmental risks;
· uncertainties as to the availability and cost of financing and changes in capital markets;
· uncertainties related to the litigation process, such as possible discovery of new evidence or
acceptance of novel legal theories and the difficulties in predicting the decisions of judges
and juries;
S-4


· risks in conducting foreign operations (for example, political and fiscal instability or the
possibility of civil unrest or military action);
· changes to general economic and business conditions;
· the effect of acts of, or actions against, international terrorism;
· the possibility that government policies or laws may change or governmental approvals may be
delayed or withheld;
· results of our risk mitigation strategies, including insurance and hedging programs;
· our ability to implement our business strategy; and
· market competition.
We caution that the foregoing list of risks and uncertainties is not exhaustive. Events or
circumstances could cause our actual results to differ materially from those estimated or projected and
expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning
certain of these and other factors which could affect our operations or financial results are included
under the heading ``Risk Factors'' in the prospectus, including information incorporated by reference
thereunder, in our Management's Discussion and Analysis incorporated by reference in the prospectus,
under the heading ``Risk Factors'' in our Annual Information Form as well as in our other reports on
file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Forward-looking statements are based on our estimates and opinions of our management at the
time the statements are made. Other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update
forward-looking statements should circumstances or estimates or opinions change.
EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION
We publish our consolidated financial statements in Canadian dollars. In this prospectus
supplement, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all dollar amounts are
expressed in Canadian dollars and references to ``dollars'' or ``$'' are to Canadian dollars and
references to ``US$'' are to United States dollars.
The following table sets forth the Canada/U.S. exchange rates on the last day of the periods
indicated as well as the high, low and average rates for such periods. The high, low and average
exchange rates for each period were identified or calculated from spot rates in effect on each trading
day during the relevant period. The exchange rates shown are expressed as the number of U.S. dollars
required to purchase one Canadian dollar. These exchange rates are based on those published on the
Bank of Canada's website as being in effect at approximately noon on each trading day (the ``Bank of
Canada noon rate''). On November 7, 2006, the Bank of Canada noon rate was US$0.8868
equals $1.00.

Use of Proceeds . . . . . . .
The net proceeds to us from this offering will be US$584.1 million, after
deducting the underwriting commission, and estimated expenses payable

that we do not immediately use in short-term marketable securities. See
``Use of Proceeds'' in this prospectus supplement.
Credit Ratings . . . . . . . .
The notes have been assigned a rating of ``Baa2(stable)'' by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., a rating of ``BBB+'' by Standard & Poor's
Corporation and a rating of ``BBB(high)(stable)'' by Dominion Bond
Rating Service Limited. The credit ratings assigned to the notes by the
rating agencies are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold the notes
and may be revised or withdrawn entirely at any time by the rating
agency issuing such rating. There can be no assurance that a rating will
remain in effect for a given period of time or that a rating will not be
revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency issuing such rating in
the future.
Additional Amounts . . . .
Any payments made by us with respect to the notes will be made without
withholding or deduction for Canadian taxes unless required to be
withheld or deducted by law or by the interpretation or administration
thereof. If we are so required to withhold or deduct for Canadian taxes
with respect to a payment to the holders of notes, we will pay the
additional amount necessary so that the net amount received by the
holders of notes after such withholding or deduction is not less than the
amount that such holders would have received in the absence of the
withholding or deduction. However, no additional amount will be payable
in excess of the additional amount that would be payable if the holder
was a resident of the United States for purposes of the
Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended. See
``Description of Debt Securities--Certain Covenants--Additional
Amounts'' in the prospectus.
Form and Denomination .
The notes will be represented by one or more fully registered global

Trust Company, and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co.

``Description of the Notes--Book Entry System'' in this prospectus
supplement. Except as described under ``Description of the Notes'' in this
prospectus supplement and ``Description of Debt Securities'' in the
prospectus, notes in certificated form will not be issued.
Governing Law . . . . . . . .
The notes and the indenture governing the notes will be governed by the
laws of the State of New York.

TALISMAN ENERGY INC.
We are an independent, Canadian based, international upstream oil and gas company whose main
business activities include exploration, development, production, transportation and marketing of crude
oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Our geographic operating segments are North America,
United Kingdom, Scandinavia, Southeast Asia and Australia and Other (which includes Algeria, Tunisia
and Trinidad and Tobago), where we have ongoing production, development and exploration activities.
We are also active in a number of other international and frontier areas, including Colombia, Peru
and Qatar.
Our head office is located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We were established as an independent
company in 1992 and are incorporated under the laws of Canada. Our common shares trade on the
Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol ``TLM.''
Our mission is value creation in the upstream oil and gas business. Our focus is on production per
share growth while managing costs within a disciplined capital structure. We have averaged 11% annual
production per share growth between 1992 and 2005 and have a target of 5% to 10% average
compound annual production per share growth between 2006 and 2009.
North America and the North Sea accounted for approximately three quarters of our net
production in the first nine months of 2006. We target larger opportunities, including deep gas in North
America and large international projects. We direct 5% to 10% of our overall spending to higher
impact exploration opportunities in both our existing core production areas and in new international
and frontier areas such as those listed above.
We continually investigate strategic acquisitions and opportunities, some of which may be material.
In connection with any such transaction, we may incur debt or issue equity.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Earlier in 2006, we announced that we were undertaking a broad review of our non-core assets
worldwide. As at the date of this prospectus supplement, we have:
· completed the sale of our UK subsidiary, Talisman Expro Limited, to Endeavour Energy UK
Limited for a sale price of US$414 million;
· completed the disposition of non-strategic assets in Canada through various transactions, for
aggregate proceeds of approximately $379 million;
· commenced a competitive auction process whereby we are seeking to identify the best
alternatives for realizing the value of our oil sands assets; and
· commenced a process to sell further select non-core properties in North America and the UK
sector of the North Sea.
The proceeds from the sale of Talisman Expro Limited were used for repayment of existing debt
and for general corporate purposes and the proceeds from the disposition of the Canadian non-core
assets were used to partially repay amounts outstanding under the acquisition bridge facility used to
acquire Paladin Resources plc in 2005. The majority of the cash proceeds from the oil sands
dispositions and the disposition of further select non-core properties in North America and the UK
sector of the North Sea will be used to repurchase Talisman shares, subject to all necessary approvals.
In October, 2006, one of our subsidiaries entered into agreements to acquire various interests in the
Fulmar and Auk fields, both located in the UK sector of the Central North Sea.
S-8


USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to us from this offering will be US$584.1 million, after deducting the
underwriting commission and after deducting estimated expenses of the offering of approximately
US$0.7 million. The net proceeds received by us from the sale of the notes will be used for general
corporate purposes, including the repayment of existing indebtedness. We may invest funds that we do
not immediately use in short-term marketable securities.
SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(1) During the second quarter of 2006, we entered into agreements to dispose of certain non-core oil and gas producing assets
and in the third quarter announced our intention to sell certain other non-core oil and gas producing assets. Further
information on these discontinued operations is included in our Supplemental Financial Information dated November 7,
2006 incorporated by reference into the prospectus. See ``Documents Incorporated by Reference''.
(2) Amounts incorporate gains on asset dispositions closed in the relevant period.
(3) Effective January 1, 2005, we retroactively adopted certain changes to the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants
accounting standard for financial instruments. The change to this standard requires that our preferred securities, all of which
were redeemed in 2004, be treated as debt rather than equity. Previously, preferred securities charges were charged directly
to retained earnings but under the new accounting standard they would have been charged to interest expense. In addition,
since the preferred securities would have been treated as debt, the balance would have been revalued at each balance sheet
date with the offsetting movement reflected in the cumulative foreign currency translation account. As a result, there would
not have been a gain on the redemption of the preferred securities. The results for 2004 and 2003 have been restated to give
effect to this retroactive adoption. There was no impact to the 2005 results as the preferred securities were fully redeemed in
2004. Further details are set forth in note 2 to our comparative audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2005, incorporated by reference in the prospectus.
