YPF S.A. is Argentina’s leading energy company, with more than a century of experience in the exploration, production, refining, and commercialization of hydrocarbons. The company operates across the entire energy value chain, including oil, natural gas, fuels, petrochemicals, and power generation.
With operations throughout the country and a strong presence in the development of Vaca Muerta, one of the world’s largest unconventional hydrocarbon reserves, YPF plays a central role in Argentina’s energy supply. The company also promotes initiatives related to technological innovation, energy transition, and more efficient energy solutions, with the goal of strengthening national energy security and supporting Argentina’s economic growth.

A State Department official who led a joint mission with EXIM and the DFC said talks already cover larger amounts for infrastructure and critical sectors. The DFC is assessing some 20 projects, including a loan to Vista Energy and talks with Pampa Energía on TGS's NGL project.
Operators will advance the funds against future royalties and recover them through royalty deductions or tolls. The works cover about 160 km of provincial routes 7, 8 and 51, in the corridor serving the fields around Anelo.
The lateral beats the company's previous slim-well best, set in 2022, by 517 meters and was matched with three different rigs and contractors. YPF reports slim wells to U.S. securities regulators as the design most representative of its large-scale Vaca Muerta development
YPF, ADNOC and ENI will present the $51 billion project at the OECD a week after EXIM Bank offered up to $6 billion. The panel arrives with the trunk pipeline awarded, the corporate structure closed and FID committed for the second half of 2026.
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
The Pampa Energía-operated block averaged 9,336 thousand cubic meters per day in June, the highest reading in a public series that begins in 2006. The 63 wells already online a year earlier delivered 22.8% less
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 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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
