BENGALURU, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Argentina's state-run
company YPF aims to raise about $1 billion in financing as part
of its return to debt markets this year, the company's chairman
told Reuters on Monday.
The money is expected to fund about 20% of a $5 billion
investment plan for this year, primarily focused on boosting oil
and gas output at the country's Vaca Muerta shale formation,
Chairman Pablo Gonzalez said on the sidelines of an energy
conference in India.
YPF and Malaysia's Petronas have planned a series of
technical meetings on Feb. 22 in Argentina to discuss the legal
terms of an ambitious liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in the
South American country, Gonzalez added.
