HOUSTON, TEXAS (Pietro D. Pitts, Energy Analytics Institute, 11.Apr.2025, Words: 1,608) — “Vaca Muerta is better than any shale in the US,” according to YPF Sociedad Anónima CEO Horacio Marín.
Reason enough why Buenos Aires-based YPF is on a mission under the leadership of Marín to become a Vaca Muerta pure play. But, to get there, the company will first need to shed its mature conventional oil assets while also opening new real-time intelligence centers (RTIC), reducing oil-field services costs, and only issue lower cost debt, among other initiatives announced by Marin and his team in 2024 and continuously taking form in early-2025.
