Its roles Owner Operator Developer
YPF Sociedad Anónima (YPF, Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales) is Argentina’s state-controlled, integrated oil and gas company. The company explores and produces hydrocarbons onshore and offshore—most notably in the Vaca Muerta shale—and operates refining, logistics, and retail networks that supply fuels and lubricants across the country.
For the chemical industry, YPF manufactures and markets petrochemical feedstocks and derivatives derived from its refining and gas operations, including aromatics, solvents, and asphalt, and it has exposure to nitrogen fertilizers in Argentina through Profertil, a 50:50 joint venture. The company is active along the gas value chain—from production and processing to proposed LNG export development—and pursues upstream partnerships and acreage in the Southern Cone, including offshore projects. Headquartered in Buenos Aires and founded in 1922, YPF serves domestic industrial, mobility, and energy markets and participates selectively in regional exports.
Also known as Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales.

Closest to start-up first.
Meeting covered cooperation on gas development via floating liquefaction; Argentina LNG targets 12 MTPA initially, investment decision due end of year and start-up planned for 2030.
Argentina targets global LNG supply; first phase 12 Mtpa from Vaca Muerta with YPF and Eni partnership, promising over 40,000 jobs and export revenues.
Prefabricated modular Prime-D unit trims delivery by six months, reduces CAPEX and limits on-site work while enabling ultra-low sulphur diesel production.
Enters OFF-5 as operator with 50% interest alongside MIWEN; OFF-5 in first exploration period with studies under way; agreed 40% interest in adjacent OFF-6.
Seeks RIGI status to enable an integrated LNG export chain using Vaca Muerta gas, with two FLNG units totalling 12 MTPA offshore Río Negro; FID targeted end‑2026.
IAPG study attributes revision to larger prospective area, thicker pay and higher recovery factor; export infrastructure and an incentives regime improve development conditions.
Acquisition alongside YPF and Eni to supply an integrated 12 MTPA ARGENTINA LNG project; deal needs regulatory approvals and covers three Vaca Muerta blocks.
Acquires 32% of three Vaca Muerta blocks to feed 12 MTPA LNG capacity via two 6 MTPA floating units; deal completion subject to regulatory approvals.
