Argentina's state oil company YPF plans to begin exploratory drilling of an offshore block off the coast of Uruguay between late 2027 and early 2028, its chairman and chief executive, Horacio Marín, confirmed, saying the area holds potential that, if confirmed, could surpass the Vaca Muerta unconventional field.

Argentine President Javier Milei's administration closed one of its worst weeks in office, cornered by an expanding judicial front against Cabinet Chief Manuel Adorni, adverse market signals, and the collapse of its discursive offensive on historical memory.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York overturned on Thursday the ruling that required Argentina to pay over $16 billion in compensation to minority shareholders of YPF for the 2012 expropriation of the oil company. The decision, issued with one dissenting vote, represents Argentina's largest judicial victory abroad in over a decade of litigation.

The U.S. government has filed a new memorandum before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York backing Argentina’s request to suspend post-judgment discovery in the YPF expropriation case. Argentina’s Treasury Solicitor’s Office said the filing supports the emergency motion submitted on March 6 seeking to pause document production, a sanctions request and an evidentiary hearing scheduled for April.

Argentina posted its highest monthly crude output on official record in January, at a time when global energy markets are again under strain from the Iran–Israel–US conflict and renewed pressure on key supply routes.

Argentina’s state-run oil company YPF and local producer Pluspetrol have agreed to a portfolio swap aimed at reshaping their positions in the Vaca Muerta shale play and strengthening supply for YPF’s flagship liquefied natural gas (LNG) export initiative.

Burford Capital, the main beneficiary of a US$16 billion first-instance ruling against Argentina over the 2012 expropriation of YPF, has asked federal judge Loretta Preska to hold the country in contempt and impose sanctions, citing alleged failures to comply with discovery orders.

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York has suspended a lower court's order that required Argentina to transfer 51% of its shares of the state oil company YPF to a New York bank. This overruling of Judge Loretta Preska's Sept. 2023 order is a significant win for Buenos Aires, as it allows the South American country to appeal the $16 billion judgment without having to surrender a key state asset

Judge Loretta Preska of the Southern District of New York Monday upheld her 2023 ruling against Argentina, rejecting the Libertarian Government's request to suspend the transfer of 51% of YPF shares to vulture funds Burford Capital and Eton Park Capital Management. This decision mandates the handover of shares valued at US$16.1 billion and is believed to represent a significant blow to the South American country, potentially leading to the loss of control over its national oil company.
