YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Vaca Muerta Growth Is Outrunning Takeaway Capacity
- Vaca Muerta supplied over half of Argentina’s oil in 2024, yet pipeline and storage constraints can strand rising shale volumes before export.
- That gap calls for basin-to-port planning; YCP models flows, tests capacity investments and aligns drilling schedules, tariffs and market demand.
LNG Ambitions Need Bankable, Integrated Project Design
- Vaca Muerta holds about 308 Tcf of technically recoverable gas, but seasonal demand and limited export routes complicate long-term offtake.
- To convert resources into export value, YCP shapes integrated LNG strategies covering demand scenarios, partners, infrastructure, economics and execution.
Policy Shifts and FX Risk Complicate Investment Cases
- Annual inflation reached 117.8% in 2024. While reforms are easing controls, shifts in exchange rates, taxes and import rules still affect returns.
- Against this uncertainty, YCP stress-tests project economics and builds practical roadmaps for pricing, sourcing, capital deployment and risk management.
Water, Emissions and Social Licence Need Joint Management
- A horizontal shale well can require 20–30 million litres of water, making sourcing, reuse, transport and transparent reporting material issues in Neuquén.
- A coordinated operating model helps balance growth and trust; YCP designs water, emissions and stakeholder programs linked to measurable business goals.
