Re.: YPF - Preliminary results of exploratory well on conventional oil formations, Vizcacheras Oeste X-2, in the Mendoza Province
|
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 the Vizcacheras Oeste X-2 exploratory well located in the Vizcacheras block, in the Mendoza Province.
The objective of the Vizcacheras Oeste X-2 well consisted in evaluating the presence and productivity of conventional hydrocarbons in the Papagayos formation with a depth of 2,140 meters and confirming the proposed prospective model. Said well started its production with an initial average daily volume of 270 barrels of oil of 28° API quality within a 10 meters section of the formation.
The positive results obtained allow us to extend the estimate of the prospective area of Vizcacheras in approximately 30 Km2, with expected resources totaling 20 million barrels of oil equivalent in this area in the Mendoza Province.1
This conventional oil discovery, together with the one communicated on January 5, 2012 in the Chachachuen block, represents a total resources addition of 60 million barrels of oil equivalent in the Mendoza Province.1
Since the project is in its initial stage we do not yet have enough information to quantify the related reserves.
Yours faithfully,
GUILLERMO REDA
Market relations officer
YPF S.A.
1 These resources do not constitute proved reserves to date and they will only be recognized as such when they comply with formal criteria requested by the National Securities Commission (“Comisión Nacional de Valores”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
