- Talisman Energy USA Inc., formerly Fortuna Energy Inc., is a registered U.S. corporation.
- Founded in October 2002, we are an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Talisman Energy Inc. of Calgary, Alberta, Canada - one of North America's largest independent producers of natural gas.
- Since 2002, Talisman has invested in the Twin Tiers and become New York's most successful natural gas producer.
- This growth came through both acquisitions and exploration. Fortuna Energy purchased some of the assets and local land lease holdings of Fairman Drilling Company, Columbia Natural Resources (CNR), Pennsylvania General Energy (PGE) and Belden & Blake Corporation.
- As of January 2010, we have over 100 operating wells, nearly 200 miles of gathering system pipeline and six compressor stations. These operations are located in Chemung, Schuyler, eastern Steuben, and Tioga counties of New York as well as Bradford and Tioga counties of Pennsylvania.
- Talisman Energy USA has oil and gas leases with more than 21,000 landowners covering 1.2 million acres in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.
- Largely due to Talisman's advanced technology and our expertise in exploring the complicated geology of the Trenton-Black River (TBR) formation, we have been the most successful developer of TBR gas in N.Y.
- In 2009 we produced approximately 22.5BCF natural gas in NY and 11.2 BCF in the the new developments of the Marcellus Shale of PA, averaging 92.3 million cubic feet (mmcf) of natural gas daily.
- We are now actively drilling and exceeding our goals in the Marcellus Shale of Pennsylvania.
- We adhere to strict environmental codes and respect local environmental sensitivities. This includes careful attention to environmental issues and impacts to minimize our environmental footprint.
