       We hereby inform you that YPF S.A. (“YPF”) has today entered into an agreement (“Agreement”) with Chevron Argentina S.R.L. (“Chevron”) through which Chevron receives an exclusive right for a 4 month period, effective as of the date hereof, to negotiate the final terms and conditions under which YPF will transfer a 50% interest in the areas of "Loma de la Lata Norte" and "Loma Campana", which comprise an area of 290 km2 in the province of Neuquén (see Annex I) and by which Chevron is committed to make the expenditures in accordance with a development program, for an estimated 100 wells, in these areas during a 12 month period, which will have a maximum amount established by the Agreement.

       Also, the Agreement contemplates that, among other things, both companies will identify exploration blocks of an estimated area of 600 km2, where Chevron will make all the expenditures in accordance with an exploratory program that will be jointly defined by both companies, in exchange of YPF's 50% interest on said blocks.
