Santos's Review of Domestic Assets Could Lead to Simpler Portfolio -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Feb 19

2356 GMT - Macquarie is intrigued by Santos's strategic review of its domestic assets. Santos is preparing to bring online its Pikka Phase 1 project in Alaska just a few months after starting up the Barossa natural-gas project in Australia. "As Barossa and Pikka enter service, Santos will need to consider whether its legacy domestic assets are still useful in the portfolio (or dilutive of margins, returns and management time)," Macquarie says. It will need to decide whether to "sweat, divest or invest" in them, the bank says. Examples include Santos's Cooper Basin, Varanus Island, Devil Creek and Narrabri assets. Macquarie, which rates Santos at outperform, suspects the review may involve a reassessment of mature end-of-life assets in Western Australia. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
