据管道新闻网8月17日消息称，澳大利亚桑托斯公司周三表示，将继续开发一个价值26亿美元的阿拉斯加石油项目，这一出人意料的决定导致该公司股价下跌，尽管该公司上半年利润创下纪录。
在未能出售所持股份后，该公司决定继续推进阿拉斯加的Pikka项目，并表示将出售其在巴布亚新几内亚的PNG液化天然气资产中低于预期的股份。
这意味着该行将无法实现2月份设定的今年出售资产最多获利30亿美元的目标。
首席执行官Kevin Gallagher告诉路透社：“自2月以来发生的变化是，我们现在不需要出售任何东西。我们处于一个非常强大的位置。”

Australia's Santos Moves Forward with $2.6 Billion Alaska Oil Project
Australia's Santos Ltd. said on Wednesday it will move ahead with developing a $2.6 billion Alaskan oil project in a surprise decision that sent the energy producer's shares lower despite it posting a record first-half profit.
The company decided to go ahead with the Pikka project in Alaska after failing to sell down its stake and also flagged it would sell a smaller than expected stake in its prized PNG LNG asset in Papua New Guinea.
That meant it would fall short of a target set in February to reap up to $3 billion from asset sales this year.
"What's changed since February is we don't have to sell anything at this point in time. We're in a very strong place," CEO Kevin Gallagher told Reuters.
