石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯1月19日布宜诺斯艾利斯报道，阿根廷国家石油公司（阿国油/YPF）周四在布宜诺斯艾利斯宣布，YPF日前与挪威国家石油公司（挪国油/Statoil）达成了一项旨在共同勘探和开发位于阿根廷最大页岩远景区瓦卡姆尔塔地区中的一个区块的协议。
YPF在提交给布宜诺斯艾利斯证券交易所的一份文件中表示，挪油将在位于内乌肯省西南部面积达3.88万英亩的Bajo del Toro区块中持有50%的股份。内乌肯省是这个页岩远景区大部分探区的所在地。
YPF表示，该公司将保留这个区块剩余50%的股份并继续担任这个区块的作业者。
YPF说，现在最后一步是YPF从内乌肯政府获得批准把其50%的股份转让给挪国油。但YPF没有说获得批准将需要多长时间。

Argentina's YPF finalizes deal with Statoil to develop Vaca Muerta
Argentina's state-run energy company YPF said Thursday it has finalized a deal with Norway's Statoil to jointly explore and develop a block targeting Vaca Muerta, the country's largest shale play.
Statoil will take a 50% stake in Bajo del Toro, a 38,800-acre block in the southwestern province of Neuquen, home to most of the play's acreage, YPF said in a filing with the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange.
YPF said it will retain the rest of the shares in the block and continue as the operator.
The companies first agreed to the project last August, pending further evaluation on both sides.
The final step now is for YPF to get approval from the Neuquen government to farm in 50% of Bajo del Toro to Statoil, YPF said. It did not say how long this could take.
