Talisman Energy USA Inc. is the most successful natural gas exploration and production company in New York. Our office in Horseheads N.Y. is located in the center of our Twin Tiers operating area. TEUSA is a subsidiary of Talisman Energy Inc. of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
We are a team of people from many backgrounds. Oil and gas production is a global industry, but it's the collective effort of individuals that successfully produces energy. We are your neighbors and share similar personal commitments for the future of our communities.
Our business also draws on the skills and experience of dozens of local contractors and suppliers. In 2007, we spent more than $20 million buying local services and products to support our activities (leasing, drilling, facilities and pipeline construction, maintenance, etc). This new business activity helps to grow the local economy.
In addition, each community with a producing well receives town, county and school taxes based on production. This tax totaled $3 million in 2005. Talisman Energy USA also believes that community organizations where we live and work should benefit from our operations. Donations are made to organizations that match our corporate guidelines and serve areas where we have facilities.

Minisonic PSD (Pig * Sphere Detector) permits the detection of the passage of spheres and pigs in a pipeline.
This detection is made by the interruption of the acoustic signal.
An external probe is used for liquids and an intrusive probe for gas.
* a Pig is a scraper or a separating sphere.
Typical Applications:
detection in a pipeline and counting of the passages of spheres which separate the fluids for the monitoring of oil products or gas transportation and for the detection of products changes.
All pipe diameters from 4 " to 60"
Programmable sound range : 500 to 2000 m/s
Wide range of measurable fluids
Advantages:
high velocity pig and sphere detector
detection independent of the flow direction
the probe can be buried
easy installation without cutting the pipe
no servicing
no pressure drop
no moving parts
no constraint of straight length of pipe
Fast response time
no recalibration
