Looks like TLM are putting lots of eggs into the Quebec basket:

Quebec

Talisman recently announced a successful well test from the Utica shale with its re-entry of a vertical Gentilly well with a test rate of 800 mcf/d from one zone. The Lorraine shale is also being tested in this well. Frac design parameters are being optimized to improve the overall frac process and results.

Talisman has an extensive land position in Quebec, with the option to earn over 1,200 net sections through drilling. The Company is currently drilling the first of a four-well pilot program to earn the land while evaluating both shale plays. The first earning well, La Visitation, is expected to be completed in November. All licensing and surface access has been arranged for the remaining earning wells, with the intention to have all wells completed by the end of the first quarter of 2009.
