Energy group Santos has announced Roc Oil boss Anthony Neilson as the replacement for outgoing chief finance officer Andrew Seaton.

Mr Seaton declared his intention to step down at the end of the year in July, with the current chief executive of the formerly ASX-listed Roc Oil tapped to take his place.

“We are very pleased to have secured a high calibre and accomplished executive in Anthony Neilson,” Santos (STO) chief executive Kevin Gallagher said.

“Anthony has over 14 years’ experience in upstream and downstream oil and gas. His strong financial and risk management skills will further enable Santos to reduce costs, increase operating cashflow and manage its balance sheet to create value for its shareholders.

Mr Neilson will commence duties with Santos in December, with Mr Seaton to stay on board to aid with the transition.
