Santos today announced its half-year results for 2023, reporting strong free cash flow of US$1.1 billion and underlying profit of US$801 million. The results reflect the strength of the disciplined operating model which is designed to ensure the business remains resilient through the oil price cycle.

The Board has resolved to pay an interim dividend of US 8.7 cents per share unfranked (US$283 million), 14 per cent higher than the corresponding prior period interim cash dividend.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Gallagher said Santos has delivered strong free cash flow and underlying earnings in the 2023 first half, despite an ever-changing macro environment.

“We remain focused on executing our strategy to backfill and sustain our existing infrastructure, decarbonise and develop our Santos Energy Solutions division. Our goal is to strike the right balance between disciplined and phased major project spend, returns to shareholders, and investment in new energy solutions to meet customer demand,” Mr Gallagher said.

“Our Santos Energy Solutions division is expanding and continues to work on building new revenue sources through decarbonisation projects. The Moomba carbon capture and storage project will be one of the biggest and lowest cost in the world and is on track for first injection of CO2 next year.

“Our critical fuels play a key role in the energy security of Australia and Asia. Gas enables a cleaner energy future, offering firming for renewable electricity and an affordable, reliable alternative to higher-emitting fuels.”
