Overview
- YPF CEO Horacio Marín said the Eni agreement constitutes a final investment decision and that the project is closed.
- The plan targets doubling this year's average Vaca Muerta gas output and reaching 75 million cubic meters per day in exports.
- Capital deployment includes $20 billion through 2031, $40 billion from 2031 to 2050, and roughly $25 billion for infrastructure that YPF intends to finance via RIGI and other channels.
- Drilling activity must climb from about 210 wells in recent years to roughly 800 wells within four years to meet the goals.
- YPF estimates about 50,000 jobs over four years and around $120 billion in tax payments, with export revenues projected to rise through 2025–2030 if current prices persist.
