The plan started in 2024 with the company coming out of a $1,277 million annual loss. Three of its four pillars now generate cash; the fourth, Argentina LNG, has yet to reach the balance sheet

YPF named two project companies in its presentation to Argentina's Chamber of Deputies. One was already known. The other appears for the first time in a public company presentation, and it defines how debt will be raised for the pipelines and the processing plants

The Parma-based firm, with nearly 80 years of pipeline work across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, joins the consortium that won the 48-inch trunkline. Its gas history intertwines with ENI's and with Sicim's, the Italian firm awarded Southern Energy's parallel line.

The Canadian company rang the Toronto exchange's opening bell on July 10, with Mendoza Governor Alfredo Cornejo and provincial minister Jimena Latorre present. Its shares have traded since June at C$0.30. It controls 146,700 hectares across 26 projects in the Malargüe Western district, with Las Estrellas as its flagship.

The YPF-ENI-XRG venture handed the roughly $1.2 billion civil works for the 527-kilometer, 48-inch trunk line to a consortium of Pumpco, Bonatti, and Contreras Hermanos. The pipeline will move up to 100 million cubic meters per day (MMm³/d) of gas and remains tied to a final investment decision expected in the second half of 2026

Pumpco is a subsidiary of MasTec, the infrastructure group run by the Mas brothers, owners of Inter Miami. It had never built in the country and arrives partnered with Bonatti and Contreras Hermanos to lay the largest-diameter gas pipeline in Argentine history.

The agreement spans crude, gas, LNG and LPG and awaits regulatory approval. Its Argentine weight comes from positions both partners already hold: Eni co-founded Argentina LNG, and Mercuria built the chain from Vaca Muerta to the Shell forecourt.

The operator, formerly Petrolera Aconcagua Energía, will run three unconventional concessions on Vaca Muerta's eastern flank for 35 years, while Vista cedes half the shale economic rights to a jointly held company, URSA.

Minister Jimena Latorre chaired the council's first meeting, completing the province's mining-authority architecture, days after the Don Luis y Otro lithium exploration cleared legislative ratification

The commodities trader and Generadora Metropolitana have jointly acquired the 273-MW Los Guindos plant in Biobío, on a corridor already fed by Neuquén gas: a firm new consumer for the same molecule Trafigura finances upstream.

The Group CEO of Pan American Energy closed the Democracia y Desarrollo forum alongside YPF's Horacio Marín. From the Hormuz shock to the petroleum coke now shipping to China, his read on Argentina's emerging export map

Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno confirmed the accession for the June 25–26 summit in Washington. The initiative runs from critical minerals to energy before reaching semiconductors — and that is where Argentina's place is defined. The test shifts from the signature to financing and supply contracts.

YPF-operated gas output rose 9.2% in May to 32.33 MMm³/d, though it fell 4.08% year-on-year. The month's biggest mover was Aguada de la Arena, a 2025 concession the company has earmarked for the export chain

Official May 2026 data from Argentina's Secretariat of Energy mark a turning point: national crude output rose at an unprecedented pace, with Neuquén production up 35.8% year-on-year and reshaping the country's hydrocarbon map in real time

Halliburton, SLB, Tenaris, Calfrac and SPI split the 9,714 stages completed between January and April. SPI, the in-house unit Pluspetrol built on Weatherford Argentina's former assets, debuted as the fifth player; YPF locked Halliburton in with an exclusive five-year electric fracturing contract.

Grupo IEB, the capital-markets holding led by Juan Ignacio Abuchdid, bought the storied contractor from Spain's Dragados in late 2024 for about $2 million. Its management contract runs to September 30, 2028, a date that tightens the schedule of the country's first gas-export pipeline.

The agency lifted the producer one notch, but flagged a sharper move underneath: a standalone profile up to "b+" on a 44% drop in unit costs, with a base case built on 641,000 boe/d sustained through 2029

Tecnimont entered the Argentine radar by joining Sacde in the consortium pre-awarded the detailed engineering for Argentina LNG's first Neuquén gas separation plant. Behind the name sits the engineering arm of an Italian group with half a century building process plants, and the firm's biggest bet yet in Argentina

In an interview, CEO Marian Milicic mapped the Rosario-based contractor — 2,500 employees, some 1,500 machines, a book split evenly between oil and copper — and described how it follows the sectors that pull investment. "We're the first to arrive," she said of the firm's role in Argentina's largest projects.

The Secretariat of Nuclear Affairs presented the 2026 Argentine Nuclear Policy Guidelines on the CNEA's 76th anniversary. The framework fixes criteria for ownership, exports and commercial validation across the sector — and arrived after the channel for private bids had already opened

The Miguel Galuccio-led company averaged 139,469 bbl/d of crude in May, up 39.5% year-on-year, in its first full month consolidating Bandurria Sur and Bajo del Toro. Directly operated areas rose 2.8% from April.

At the Shale24-Santander Energy Summit, CEO Rodolfo Freyre dated the start of construction on the 471-km dedicated pipeline and walked through the engineering still standing between the project and its first export cargo: a mooring system being built in Europe and anchored at 40 meters, a logistics base that does not yet exist at the Río Negro port, and a dedicated line that required project finance.
