1. As a result of the collapse in the oil price in 2015, Santos as prudent managers
had to eliminate over 2500 positions both employees and contractors, to remain
viable, including mine. I am now exploring opportunities that will take full
advantage of my 35 years experience in the oil and gas sector.
