City of Buenos Aires, December 7, 2010.
To the
Buenos Aires Stock Exchange
Re: Exploration and Production Development Program 2010/2014 Results
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 the Exploration and Production Development Program 2010/2014 and after drilling 4 tight gas exploration wells in the south of Loma La Lata field, in Neuquén province, we have verified the existence of non conventional gas with an estimated volume of approximately 4.5 TCF.
In addition, within the exploratory activities that are being carried out on shale gas and shale oil fields in the province of Neuquén, we have discovered, after drilling two exploration wells, that Vaca Muerta formation has similar conditions to productive basins in USA. The existing volume of non conventional gas and oil in our mining domain is to be defined after completing the outlining of the findings and exploration stages on the same geologic concept within the remaining part of the Neuquina basin. Since these projects are in their initial stages, we still do not have enough information to quantify those resources.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that we have been able to reverse the downward trend in crude oil production this year, 2010 and we estimate a 100% replacement of the crude oil produced this year.
| Yours faithfully, |
