Letter to the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange dated July 13, 2011
|
Buenos Aires, July 13, 2011.
Messrs
Buenos Aires Stock Exchange
|
Re.: YPF – Preliminary results exploratory well on unconventional oil formations (shale oil)
|
Dear Sirs:
The purpose of this letter is to comply with the requirements of Chapter VII, Article 23 of the Regulations of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange.
We hereby inform you that, under our annual exploration program, we have drilled, through the Temporary Joint Venture (JV) where we hold a 70% share with Rovella Energy S.A. (15%) and G & P of Neuquén (15%), the exploratory well Bajada de Añelo X-2 (BA X-2), located in the Bajada de Añelo block of the Neuquina basin.
The objective of the well is to continue gathering information and appraisals on the Vaca Muerta formation, outside of the area of Loma La Lata. The well was drilled to a depth of 3000 meters, with 3 fractures made at 150 meters.
The results of that well yielded a daily average production of approximately 250 barrels of oil per day of high quality (48° API), in line with previous findings in this formation in the area of Loma La Lata. Thus, the positive results encourage the continued exploration planned for the Vaca Muerta formation in 2011.
Since the project is in its initial stage we do not yet have enough information to quantify the reserves.
Yours faithfully,
Mauro Dacomo
Attorney in fact
