Oil and gas major Santos has reported a 16% increase in production during the first quarter of 2019, compared with the fourth quarter of 2018, despite the Western Australian operations being impacted by cyclone activity, and facility outages in the Cooper Basin.
Production volumes for the three months to March reached 18.4-million barrels of oil equivalent, up from the 15.9-million barrels in the previous quarter, while sales volumes in the same period also increased from 20.9-million barrels to 22.8-million barrels.
