Developed reserves represent 62% of total 2P reserves, and 2P reserves held in international assets comprise 40% of Santos' total 2P reserves.

Santos also provided additional guidance on its 2025 full year results, including expected revenue, cost of sales, impairment losses, and other financial metrics.
