There has been no official date set for the release of new information on wells drilling Utica . The only information that has been released is on our Gentilly well located about 30km east of Trois-Rivières. The vertical well was completed in one zone and produced a test rate of 800 mcf/d in September of 2008. Since that time Talisman has drilled or are in the progress of drilling four additional operated wells. Drilling is still on going as is testing and completion so much of the results are still unknown. You will probably hear an update on how the Utica drilling is progressing during Talisman’s year end conference call on Thursday March 5, 2009. From then on I would look for future updates at specific events such as the Q1 2009 conference call or Talisman’s Investor Open House presentation in late April and early May. All materials will be posted on our website at: http://www.talisman-energy.com/analy...
