Beach Energy Could Benefit From Santos Asset Sale -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jun 30, 2025

0336 GMT - Beach Energy needs new assets to offset declining oil and natural gas production. Could it get them from Santos? Citi ponders the question because the XRG-led consortium bidding for Santos may need to commit to selling some of its assets to get a takeover approved by Australian regulators. Analyst Tom Wallington identifies Santos's undeveloped Narrabri gas deposit as a potential target. "A hypothetical acquisition could extend reserve life meaningfully (to 14 years) and would align with Beach's strategic pivot to sustainable, long-life domestic assets," Citi says. Buying the Narrabri deposit also wouldn't involve Beach breaching gearing limits. Citi has a sell call on Beach, but says sentiment could shift if it addresses risks such as short reserve life with an acquisition. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
