MADRID, 11 May.

Eskenazi, whose family controls 25% of YPF, made the announcement at a ceremony in which he was present Planning Minister Julio de Vido, and the governor of Neuquén, Jorge Sapag, whose region has made the finding. Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, followed by video immediately.
