April 17 (Reuters) - Australia's No.2 independent gas producer Santos Ltd STO.AX on Wednesday posted a 33 percent jump in first-quarter production, boosted by its acquisition of Quadrant Energy assets.
Revenue for the quarter totalled $1.02 billion, up 27.8 percent from the $794 million it posted last year.
Santos said production for the quarter ended March 31 rose to 18.4 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe), which the company said was a record, from 13.8 mmboe last year.
