YPF Sociedad Anonima ( (YPF) ) has issued an update.
On January 16, 2026, YPF signed two agreements with Limay Energía S.A., a Rovella Capital Group company, to transfer 100% of its conventional exploitation concession in the Manantiales Behr area and associated hydrocarbon transport concessions in the Province of Chubut, as well as to sell related inventory from its Manantiales Behr and Km 20 warehouses, for a total consideration of US$575 million plus VAT, with 60% payable at closing and the remainder within 12 months, subject to provincial executive approval. The divestment, involving an area that at the end of the third quarter of 2025 was producing about 25,000 barrels of oil per day and 0.5 million cubic meters of natural gas per day, is a key element of YPF’s 4×4 Plan to optimize its conventional upstream portfolio and reallocate capital toward unconventional assets, signaling a strategic shift intended to sharpen operational focus and potentially improve returns for the company and its stakeholders.
