YPF

Ypf Sociedad Anonima

A maker of oil and gas that fuels Argentina: YPF explores, refines, and sells petroleum, gasoline, diesel, and lubricants (brands like Infinia and Elaion) through a nationwide network of service stations. Founded in 1922 as Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales — the world's first state-run oil company — it was created to manage the country's petroleum from the ground to the pump. Its name stuck so well that when it was privatized in the 1990s, Argentines kept the acronym YPF as the brand. A fun twist: it develops the Vaca Muerta shale field, whose name means "Dead Cow."
