Talisman to return to RI

CALGARY (Dow Jones): Talisman Energy Inc (TLM) said its employees are currently returning to work in Jakarta.

As reported May 19, Talisman said it had temporarily evacuated all expatriate family members and most expatriate employees from its Indonesian operations in connection with the political unrest in Indonesia, but maintained a small management group there in a safe place.

In a news release, Talisman said it removed non-core expatriate staff on the advice of the Canadian embassy, which now considers the return of employees to be safe.

The company said its Jakarta office remained open and operational during this period, and reiterated that recent events in the country "had no ongoing impact on the company's operations or cash flow."

Talisman is a Canadian energy company.
