(Bloomberg) -- Santos Ltd., Australia's third-

8.3 percent as the rising Australian dollar reduced the value of
exports and some shipments fell outside the period.

Sales fell to A$633.8 million ($562 million) in the three
months ended June 30, from A$691.5 million a year earlier, the
Adelaide-based company said in a statement to the Australian

15.6 million barrels of oil, a record for the second quarter, and
sales volumes fell 4.9 percent to 15.4 million barrels.
