Spanish Court to Hear Repsol-YPF Lawsuit

摘要

A Spanish court has agreed to hear an unfair competition claim brought by oil major Repsol against former Argentine subsidiary YPF over the exploration of the vast Vaca Muerta shale oil field, court documents seen by Reuters show. While the consequences of the decision remain to be seen and a trial could be years away, the move could eventually make it more difficult for international firms to invest in the Vaca Muerta.
