Back to the Future - Discovering New Life in the Old Cooper Basin
The remote and rugged Cooper Basin is where the Santos story began more than 60 years ago. This foundation asset has been steadily supplying Australia’s domestic natural gas needs since 1969 but it’s often overlooked by analysts and the media. Perhaps not for much longer. Santos is discovering new tricks in these old rocks. Managing Director and CEO Kevin Gallagher is passionate about how the company is breathing new life into its Cooper operations, using innovation to keep costs down and get more gas flowing. Hear his vision for the company and his plan to make the Cooper Basin a valuable swing producer for the Australian east coast domestic gas market for many more years to come.
