Take Notice that an examiner appointed by the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB/Board) will conduct a written hearing of Application No. 1364061 for an enlargement of the area of Turner Valley Unit No. 3 (the Unit).

Talisman Energy Inc. (Talisman) has applied pursuant to the Turner Valley Unit Operations Act (the Act) to add Legal Subdivisions 5, 12, and 13 of Section 20, Township 18, Range 2, West of the 5th Meridian to the area of the Unit.

Talisman submitted that the three legal subdivisions involved were purchased by the Unit owners in the same percentage as the current Unit ownership, and that enlargement of the Unit will not affect each owner's share of Unit production.
