    in the project through its subsidiary Petronas E&P Argentina SA.

    The Belgian-scale Vaca Muerta deposit, located in western Argentina, is believed to hold the world's second-largest shale gas and fourth-largest shale oil deposits
    .

    "This investment will allow us to increase YPF's gasoline production by 30% by 2022, which means a 15%
    increase in total gasoline production in Argentina," the statement said.

    The company said it aims to reach 60,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2022, with a total investment likely to reach $7 billion
