Prospectus Supplement
May 15, 2012
(To Prospectus dated April 3, 2012)
US$600,000,000
5.50% Notes due 2042
The notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.50% per year. We will pay interest on the notes semi-annually in arrears on May 15
and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2012. The notes will mature on May 15, 2042. We may redeem some or all
of the notes at any time prior to November 15, 2041 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. We may also redeem some or all of the notes on or after November 15, 2041 at 100% of their principal
amount. The notes do not have the benefit of any sinking fund.
The notes will be our unsecured and unsubordinated 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 International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board 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.
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 United States 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 U.S. 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.

SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING
The following is a brief summary of some of the terms of this offering. For a more complete description of the terms of the
notes, see "Description of the Notes" in this prospectus supplement and "Description of Debt Securities" in the prospectus. In this
summary, "we", "us", "our" or "Talisman" refer to Talisman Energy Inc. without any of its subsidiaries through which it operates.
Issuer
Talisman Energy Inc.
Securities Offered
US$600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% notes.
Interest Payment Dates
May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2012.
Maturity Date
May 15, 2042.
Ranking
The notes will be our direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally with all
of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. We conduct a substantial
portion of our business through corporate and partnership subsidiaries. The notes will be structurally
subordinate to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of any of our corporate and
partnership subsidiaries. See "Description of the Notes--Ranking and Other Indebtedness" in this
prospectus supplement and "Description of Debt Securities--Ranking and Other Indebtedness" in the
prospectus. As at March 31, 2012, our subsidiaries had approximately $2.7 billion of indebtedness
and other liabilities to third parties, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities and income
and other taxes payable.
Optional Redemption
We may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to November 15, 2041, at the "make-
whole" price described in this prospectus supplement. At any time on or after November 15, 2041 the
notes will be redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the date of
redemption. See "Description of the Notes--Optional Redemption" in this prospectus supplement. We
may also redeem the notes in whole, but not in part, at the redemption price described in the
accompanying prospectus if certain changes affecting Canadian withholding taxes occur. See
"Description of Debt Securities--Tax Redemption" in the prospectus.
Sinking Fund
None.
Certain Covenants
The indenture pursuant to which the notes will be issued contains certain covenants that, among other
things, limit:

· our ability and the ability of our Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture) to create
liens; and

· our ability (but not the ability of our corporate and partnership subsidiaries) to merge,
amalgamate or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of our assets to, any other person
other than our Restricted Subsidiaries.

These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications that are described under the
caption "Description of Debt Securities--Certain Covenants" in the prospectus.

Further Issuances
We may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of holders of the notes, create and issue
additional notes ranking equally with the notes offered hereby in all respects (or in all respects except
for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of the new notes or except for the first
payment of interest following the issue date of the new notes). These additional notes may be
consolidated and form a single series with the notes offered hereby and have the same terms as to
status, redemption or otherwise as the notes offered hereby.
Use of Proceeds
The net proceeds to us from this offering will be US$582.1 million, after deducting the underwriting
commission and after deducting estimated expenses payable by us of approximately US$1.5 million.
The net proceeds received by us from the sale of the notes will be used for general corporate
purposes, which may include funding capital expenditures and the repayment of existing indebtedness.
We may invest funds that we do not immediately use in short-term marketable securities.
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 amounts 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 amounts 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.
Conflicts of Interest
One or more of the underwriters and/or their affiliates may receive more than 5% of the net proceeds
of the offering. The appointment of a qualified independent underwriter is not necessary in connection
with the offering because the conditions of rule 5121(a)(1)(C) of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. are satisfied. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Underwriting--FINRA Regulation" in this
prospectus supplement.
Form and Denomination
The notes will be represented by one or more fully registered global notes deposited in book entry
form with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, and registered in the name of its nominee,
Cede & Co. Beneficial interests in any registered global note will be in denominations of US$2,000
and integral multiples of US$1,000. See "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.
Trustee
The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York.
Governing Law
The notes and the indenture governing the notes will be governed by the laws of the State of
New York.
