 Major incidents are defined as any case where charges were laid by a recognized regulatory authority as a result of actual
HSE impact. Administrative penalties applied due to a regulatory contravention
are not included. See the North Sea section for more information.

  1. Base data used to calculate KPIs include both measured and production-based estimates.
  2. Includes direct emissions and indirect emissions associated with electrical power consumption. Numbers may vary from those reported to regional authorities due to differences in reporting criteria.
  3. Certain comparative data for 2006 and 2007 have been revised to conform to the calculation methodology used in the current year. These refinements in calculation methodology include increased use of site-specific fuel emission and energy factors and recent electricity emission factors. The revisions are less than 5% for most indicators, but range from 5 to 10% for the Norway emissions and Malaysia energy use values.
  4. Values may not be directly comparable across regions and reporting years. Analytical methods vary according to jurisdictional requirements. UK 2006 and 2007 values have been restated to include onshore terminals. Malaysia 2007 value has been revised due to enhanced calculation methodology.
  5. In 2008, Talisman revised the methodology for measuring exposure hours to facilitate improved external benchmarking and alignment with the Company’s HSE Policy. Historical safety performance data previously reported have not been revised and, as such, direct comparisons are not possible.
