David Knox and Andrew Seaton, CEO and CFO respectively of energy group Santos, on 26 November 2014 told investors about plans to compensate for the recent decline in the crude oil price by some 30%. The company, which has LNG projects in Queensland and Papua New Guinea, will cut costs and capital investment. A previous estimate for annual cash flow to grow 100% between 2013 and 2016 has been revised down to 65%, and Seaton foreshadowed a potential hybrid debt issue worth EUR500m ($A726m). Santos shares closed $A0.15 higher at $A11.98, after a fall of 5% the day before
