“Santos intends to manage gearing within our stated operating range and is targeting to selldown equity in Darwin LNG and Barossa to 40-50% in order to create alignment between joint venture participants,” the company said in a statement. ConocoPhillips said in a separate statement that the assets being sold produced about 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first half of 2019, adding that the sale is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2020.
