Santos reported a 30% decline in first-half 2026 underlying NPAT to USD 355 million. Production rose 3% to 45.5 million barrels of oil equivalent on steady average pricing, and underlying EBITDA was steady. But depreciation jumped 22% on a methodology change.
Santos is a beneficiary of continued global economic growth and increased demand for energy. Aside from coal, gas has been the fastest-growing primary energy segment globally. The traded gas segment is expanding faster still.
Santos committed to substantial LNG capital expenditures, which will see the balance sheet geared in the medium term.
