• “Currency exchange control" was the "solution" sought to stabilize funds flow from Argentina
• Reduction of Trade Balance due to energy imports
• Reduction of direct and financial investments due to aggression against companies
• Explosion of fiscal deficit to 5% mostly due to energy subsidies

GDP AND PRIMARY CONSUMPTION OF ENERGY IN ARGENTINA
Energy Consumption (right)
GDP Index 1960=100 (left)
• Economic growth and energy demand: strong correlation
• No energy, no growth? • High growth, more energy? • Somebody will need to find the way
to guarantee sustainable energy supply
Growing demand of power, gas, gasoline 3/4/9% Domestic oil and gas production decline -1.6%; -5.2%
Import Gas, LNG, gasoline, diesel +48%; +29%; +500%; +40%
Need for Dollars to pay for imports - US$ 12.8 Bn 2013 Need for Pesos for booming subsidies + AR$ 90 Bn 2013
Stagflation causes social unrest and loss of elections Forced changes in paradigms for Energy Sector
Energy policies expected to change, as current status is unsustainable
5 WHEN?
As in the past, Argentina will change its energy policy to boost production (*)
• Impressive imports of energy products at US$ 12.8 Bn in 2013, to partially satisfy demand
• Energy imports subsidized 80% of actual cost
• Economic variables under stress
(*) In 1958, 1967, 1976, 1987, and 1990 Argentina modified its oil/gas policies to attract foreign investment to boost domestic production 6

Is there a chance for further boost of business terms?
Whenever Argentina faced imports of
energy products, a change took place to
boost domestic oil and gas production through improved
terms
• Expected US$ disbursements to import energy in 2014-2016 are so large, that something will have to change to improve domestic production, aggressively
9
Higher prices are influencing demand for gasoline, which still grows

Declining oil (-5.3%) and gas (-5.1%) reserves by end of 2012
• Higher investments dedicated to shale oil
• Initial stage at shale gas
• Maturing conventional oil and gas production due to limited exploration activity, led to decline in reserves
• Incentives to revert trend, with some small discoveries being made
• YPF announced 148% reserves’ replacement ratio based in recovery factor and extension of concessions

• 2011 through 2013 were years of acreage positioning
• High values paid: Chevron 10,000 $/acre
• Estimated $ 3.5 Bn invested since 2010
• $ 2.0 Bn in past 12 months
• Several players assessing the Vaca Muerta play
• Expansion in exploration efforts
• Debate on ways to progress with Vaca Muerta play
• Changes still required for development
• Regulatory stability
• Higher prices
• Reduction in Union activism
• Service industry development
• More rigs and fracking capacity
• Water treatment centers required as utilization and scarcity will become an environmental flag
• Government promotes development of suppliers for the shale play
Shale play receives interest and will unfold in next years

Shale Oil Wells in production

Different strategies define different potential markets for equipment and services
• Differing strategies between YPF and rest of Operators
• YPF: reducing costs on vertical black oil shale wells
• Other Operators focusing in assessing wet gas shale play with expensive horizontal wells until they define which type of development strategy will be implemented
• Shale gas oriented; deeper wells
• 15+ stages of fracs per well compared to 5 stages per vertical well
• Very high pressure while drilling, testing and initial production (9,000 psi)
Productivity of shale oil still low, requires increases and horizontal wells
28
Accelerated decline of wells drilled in 2013 campaign; Loss of incremental contribution by 2014 wells; Better performance by a group of wells drilled by YPF in past 3 months ay Northwest of Loma Campana

Remaining obstacles

Repsol issue Settlement reached; payment in bonds in May
Prices of oil and gas
Resumption of increases of domestic price of oil and subsidies for gas at 7.5 US$/MMBTU
Rigs and fracking crews
Imports authorized; bureaucratic restrictions; growing fleet ; not enough for Upside case
Labor Lack of qualified personnel; Union activism and
high salaries
Local content Political pressure; difficulties in accomplishing
by domestic suppliers
Regulatory framework
Consensus to establish stable rules; negative precedents; need to increase production
Players Good base of qualified companies; especially
majors; lack of domestic capital

US$/ACRE
EVOLUTION IN TIME OF ESTIMATED NET VALUE PER ACRE
• Government decided to partially reduce subsidies
• Unclear scheme
• Government will fund additional income to companies, either through increases on tariffs, or financing of investments, or direct subsidies to companies
• Government decided to secure financial capacity of companies
• First decision to “do something with the sector” • Increases in tariffs for gas transportation and distribution
companies
• Expected increases for power utilities and generators
Gas and Power companies
32
• More intervention by Government in the short term is leading to more aggressive incentives, though a turnaround should be expected for mid term
• Further Radicalization – Low probability • Turn the E&P business into service contracts based on Decree 1277?
Forced reinvestments?
• Political control at YPF by politicians and unions (has not happened)
• Soft improvement – High probability • Provide for higher oil and gas prices in exchange for reinvestment?
• Maintain concessions with companies
• Some associations for future shale development and domestic financing for YPF
Potential scenarios
33
• Important recovery on valuations for publicly traded E&P and energy companies with activity in Argentina
• Impressive interest by Investment Funds and Banks
• Potential financial turmoil in Argentina remains as the main risk for companies; However, Neuquen basin oil price already recovered to pre devaluation level, and gas prices have been maintained
• Project for a new Hydrocarbons Law favored by YPF, may close the access to prospective acreage inducing partnerships with YPF
• Potential opportunity to position, as a negative scenario for investments in E&P business is not sustainable
The settlement with Repsol and influence on rest of the industry
34
Potential E&P Scenarios
• Transition may lead to more aggressive incentives and turnaround with new Administration by December 2015
• Potential for higher tariffs to reduce subsidies
• Imports of energy affect Argentine economy, and prevent resumption of growth • Next two years may be influenced by macroeconomic disorder
• Increasing domestic production of oil and gas demands a significant effort in attracting oil and gas investors
• Need for a drastic change; Potential turnaround under a new Government
• Companies under “assessment mode” positioning for a potential change in political environment 35
36
• Implicit recognition of wrong policies and need to increase production through moderate incentive programs to provide for higher prices
• Expected domestic oil and gas prices to continue increasing, as well as increases of income for utilities
• YPF is strongly supported by Government
• 2014 and 2015 represent transition years into a future improved E&P business framework, as economy continues to be affected by expensive imported energy
