Repsol SA, which had its stake in YPF seized by the Argentinian government earlier this year, plans to take legal action against Chevron.
As quoted in the market news:
Argentina’s left-leaning government seized a controlling stake in YPF, the country’s No. 1 energy company, from Repsol in May and the Spanish firm has vowed to take legal action against companies that invest in YPF.
Repsol reacted swiftly to Friday’s accord with U.S.-based Chevron. The possible partnership is good news for YPF as it seeks deep-pocketed partners to help fund an ambitious five-year investment plan aimed at boosting production.
YPF and Chevron confirmed the signing of a memorandum of understanding but declined to comment on the legal threat.
