Re:
YPF S.A. and Statoil Argentina
B.V. Sucursal Argentina enter
definitive agreements for the
development of hydrocarbons in the
Bajo del Toro area, in the Province of Neuquén
|
Dear Sirs:
The purpose of this
letter is to comply with the requirements of Article 23 of Chapter VI of the Merval Listing Regulations.
In that connection, and following the
information provided to the market in our letter dated August 25, 2017, we inform you that YPF S.A. (YPF) and Statoil Argentina B.V. Sucursal Argentina, an affiliate of Statoil Holding Netherlands B.V. (Statoil and,
together with YPF, the Parties), entered into definitive agreements on January 17, 2018 for the exploration and the eventual joint development of the Bajo del Toro area, located in the Province of Neuquén (herein the
Agreements and the Area). Through those Agreements, a 50% participation interest in the exploration permit over the Area was assigned to Statoil. YPF will continue to be the operator of the Area and will retain, directly and
indirectly, the remaining 50% participation interest in the permit.
The Agreements contemplate the joint development of a
two-phase
work program (the Work Program). During the first phase, the Parties will develop two horizontal wells, and during the second phase, the Parties will develop six horizontal wells and the
corresponding infrastructure associated with them. As payment of the price, Statoil will pay YPF 30 million dollars at the time of the fulfillment of the conditions precedent established in the Agreements, and, in addition, will pay 100% of the
costs and investments required by the Work Program and the eventual development of the Area, up to 270 million dollars.
Once the activities related
to the first phase of the Work Program are finalized, Statoil will have the option of exiting the project by returning the permit and paying any liabilities accrued up to its exit date. If Statoil does not exercise this exit right, once the
activities corresponding to the second phase of the Work Program are completed, Statoil will again have the option of exiting the project under the same exit conditions.
Effectiveness of the Agreements remains contingent on the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent, mainly in connection with the authorization from the
Executive Branch of the Province of Neuquén for the transfer of the participation interest described in the Agreements.
Yours faithfully,
Lorena Sánchez
Market Relations Officer
YPF S.A.
