Talisman Energy has agreed to purchase 37,000 acres in the Eagle Ford Shale from Common Resources for $359 million (~10,000 per acre).  The deal adds to Talisman's US unconventional resource holdings, which includes a position in the Marcellus Shale.

"Talisman reached agreement to acquire 37,000 net acres in the Eagle Ford shale play in south Texas."
