Santos stock jumps after Queensland gas acreage call — the next date investors circle
Santos shares closed up 2.5% at A$7.01 after Queensland named its unit and Drillsearch as preferred tenderers for three gas blocks near the state border. The move comes as Canberra prepares new domestic gas reservation rules for LNG exporters starting in 2027. Santos loaded its first Barossa LNG cargo to Japan this week. Investors await the company’s full-year results on February 18.
