A report on YPF, Comodoro Rivadavia and Enrique Mosconi

YPF's first director was Enrique Mosconi, who took up his charge in 1922, remaining there until 1930.

The company, specializing in the exploration, production, refining and commercialization of petroleum, had its origin in 1907, when oil was discovered near the city of Comodoro Rivadavia in Chubut.

It was opened in 1987 by the state-owned oil company YPF.

On 16 October 1922 Mosconi was appointed by the president Alvear as Director-General of the Fiscal Petroleum Reserves (Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales, YPF), where he would stay for eight years, devoting large efforts to increase exploration and development of petroleum extraction.

In the city of Comodoro Rivadavia, Chubut, there is a neighbourhood and an international airport that are named after the engineer.

Engineer Enrique Mosconi was in charge of running the company.
