Partnerships
Strategic Alliances with Global Energy Majors
YPF runs joint ventures with Chevron, Shell and Petronas to share the high capex and tech risk of Vaca Muerta unconventional drilling, cutting development costs per well by ~30% and speeding rigs deployment to 85 active rigs by Dec 2025.
State and Provincial Government Relations
As a state-controlled energy firm, YPF coordinates closely with Argentina’s national government and Neuquén province to secure concession renewals, set royalties (Neuquén royalties rose to 12.5% for Vaca Muerta in 2024) and finalize regs that enable multi-decade investments; this alignment supports YPF’s 2024 capex plan of US$2.2 billion and national energy security targets to boost gas output 20% by 2026.
Petronas LNG Export Project Partnership
The Petronas LNG export project, a cornerstone of YPF’s 2025 strategy, pairs YPF’s Vaca Muerta gas reserves with Petronas’ liquefaction tech and global offtake channels; planned capex exceeds US$6.5 billion for two liquefaction trains and midstream links, targeting 6–8 mtpa LNG and raising Argentina toward net energy exporter status.
Local Oilfield Service Providers
YPF relies on local and international oilfield service firms for drilling, completion and maintenance, supplying rigs, hydraulic fracturing crews and tech needed for efficient Vaca Muerta shale operations; in 2024 YPF contracted ~120 well pads and reduced lifting costs by ~6% vs 2022 through service-negotiation and optimization.
- ~120 well pads contracted (2024)
- Lifting cost reduction ≈6% vs 2022
- Critical: rigs, frac crews, digital monitoring
- Supports 2025–2029 drilling cadence and cost targets
Financial Institutions and International Creditors
Securing capital markets and major-bank ties funds YPF’s heavy CAPEX via structured finance, credit lines, and bond issuances that help manage its debt while investing in upstream and midstream projects.
By late 2025, sustaining investor confidence—critical after YPF’s 2024-25 bond activity that included roughly USD 1.2 billion in debt placements—remains key to ensuring liquidity for large infrastructure builds.
- Structured finance, credit facilities, bonds
- Manage debt profile; enable CAPEX
- USD 1.2B debt placements in 2024-25
- Investor confidence vital for 2026+ projects
YPF cuts well costs 30%, scales to 85 rigs; Petronas LNG $6.5B, $1.2B debt raised
YPF’s key partners: Chevron, Shell, Petronas JVs cut Vaca Muerta well costs ~30% and lifted rigs to 85 by Dec 2025; Neuquén royalties 12.5% (2024) support YPF’s US$2.2B 2024 capex; Petronas LNG project capex >US$6.5B targeting 6–8 mtpa; ~120 well pads contracted in 2024; USD 1.2B debt placed 2024–25.
| Partner | Role | Key metric |
|---|---|---|
| Chevron/Shell/Petronas | JVs | −30% cost per well; 85 rigs (Dec 2025) |
| Neuquén govt | Reg/royalties | 12.5% royalty (2024) |
| Petronas | LNG capex | US$6.5B; 6–8 mtpa |
| Service firms | Ops | ~120 pads (2024); −6% lifting cost vs 2022 |
| Banks/Markets | Finance | US$1.2B debt placed (2024–25) |

Activities
Upstream Exploration and Production
Upstream exploration and production centers on extracting crude oil and gas, led by Vaca Muerta shale where YPF reported 2025 production of ~150 kbpd oil-equivalent and 65% of drilling activity in horizontal wells; the company uses horizontal drilling plus multi-stage hydraulic fracturing to lift recovery and reduce unit costs. This segment drove 2025 upstream revenue of about US$6.2bn and is key to Argentina’s push for energy self-sufficiency.
Downstream Refining and Petrochemical Processing
YPF runs refiners at La Plata and Lujan de Cuyo that in 2024 processed about 220 kbpd (thousand barrels per day) of crude into gasoline, diesel and jet, with ongoing upgrades to handle lighter Vaca Muerta shale crude and cut sulfur to <10 ppm to meet Euro 5-like specs.
The firm also converts feedstock into petrochemicals—producing aromatics and polymers—generating roughly US$420M in downstream sales in 2024 and improving margin capture across the hydrocarbon chain.
Midstream Infrastructure and Logistics
YPF builds and runs pipelines, storage terminals and pumping stations to move hydrocarbons; in 2025 it is prioritizing the Vaca Muerta Sur pipeline expansion and related evacuation routes to lift export capacity and cut lift-time bottlenecks. Ensuring steady flow from wellhead to refinery or export—critical to avoid flaring and preserve $/bbl realized prices—supported YPF’s 2024 midstream capex of ~$430 million and targets a 20% increase in evacuation capacity by 2026.
Retail Marketing and Distribution
YPF operates Argentina’s largest service-station network—over 1,500 points of sale—selling gasoline, diesel and lubricants via direct and franchised outlets, generating roughly ARS 1.2 trillion revenue in 2024 from downstream and retail segments.
This requires tight supply-chain orchestration (fuel logistics, storage, inventory) and digital upgrades: mobile payments, a loyalty program with ~4.5 million members, and in-station retailing to protect market share.
- 1,500+ service stations nationwide
- ~ARS 1.2 trillion downstream/retail revenue (2024)
- ~4.5 million loyalty members
- direct + franchised sales model
- sophisticated logistics and inventory management
Power Generation and Renewable Energy
Through YPF Luz, YPF operates thermal plants and a growing renewables portfolio—about 420 MW wind and solar capacity by end-2025—diversifying revenue and cutting scope 1+2 emissions across the group.
Integrating power generation as a strategic vertical lets YPF monetize ~0.5–0.8 bcm/year of associated gas, improve margin capture, and target lower carbon intensity per boe.
- 420 MW renewables capacity (end-2025)
- YPF Luz: thermal + wind + solar
- Captures 0.5–0.8 bcm gas/year
- Reduces group scope 1+2 carbon intensity
YPF: Integrated energy player — Vaca Muerta growth, refining, retail scale & renewables
YPF’s key activities: upstream oil & gas extraction (Vaca Muerta ~150 kbpd oil‑eq in 2025; US$6.2bn upstream revenue 2025), refining (~220 kbpd crude processed in 2024), midstream pipelines/storage (2024 capex ~$430M; +20% evacuation target by 2026), retail (1,500+ stations; ARS 1.2T downstream revenue 2024; 4.5M loyalty members), power (YPF Luz 420 MW renewables end‑2025; 0.5–0.8 bcm gas/year captured).
| Activity | Key metric |
|---|---|
| Upstream | 150 kbpd; US$6.2bn (2025) |
| Refining | 220 kbpd (2024) |
| Midstream | $430M capex (2024); +20% by 2026 |
| Retail | 1,500+ stations; ARS 1.2T (2024) |
| Power | 420 MW renewables; 0.5–0.8 bcm/yr |
