Santos hit by lower oil prices

Oil and gas major Santos has reported a 14% drop in revenue for the three months to March, as both production and oil prices tumbled.

Production for the quarter was down 4%, from the 18.7-million barrels of oil equivalent produced in the December quarter, to 17.9-million barrels, on the back of unplanned domestic gas customer outage in Western Australia and the impact of Cyclone Claudia.
