Oil and gas producer Santos has indicated that its 2015 financial results could include write-downs of up to $A3bn. Meanwhile, chairman Peter Coates has stressed the need for board renewal, noting that some directors have been on the board for a long time. However, he says there are no plans for further board changes in 2016, although there has been speculation that several could step down before the end of the year. Coates has also identified recruiting his eventual successor as a priority.
