CALGARY, Alberta, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Talisman Energy Inc did not approach
China's CNOOC Ltd about amalgamating assets and offering shares in a joint
enterprise, a spokesman at the Canadian oil company said on Monday.
"We've had no discussions with CNOOC," Talisman's Dave Mann said.
Mann was speaking in response to a report in the South China Morning Post,
which said Talisman had spoken to China's third-largest oil company about a
joint listing worth as much as $10 billion.
