Australian-listed oil and gas producer Santos aims to slash its net debt by $US1.5bn ($A2bn) by 2019 as part of a restructuring program. This will including moving non-core assets to a holding company, allowing the group to focus on five key growth assets. These include the Gladstone LNG project, its Cooper Basin gas assets and the Papua New Guinea LNG venture. Santos will also make its gas processing facilities available to rival gas producers. The non-core assets could potentially be sold in the future.
