History and Development
YPF was founded in 1922 as Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales, becoming one of the world’s first state-owned oil companies and a key component of Argentina’s strategy to develop domestic energy resources.
In its early decades, the company built extraction capacity, refineries, and transportation infrastructure, helping expand fuel supply as Argentina industrialized.
During the 1990s, YPF underwent major corporate changes, including privatization and partnerships with international companies, which modernized its governance and operations.
In 2012, the Argentine government reestablished majority control of the company, shifting strategy toward expanding domestic production, particularly in unconventional oil and gas resources in Vaca Muerta.
In recent years, YPF has invested in refining upgrades, digital infrastructure, and renewable energy initiatives, while continuing to develop Argentina’s oil and gas resources.
