Argentina's Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted a freeze
that had been placed on Chevron Corp assets in the country,
clearing the way for the U.S. oil giant to go ahead with a shale oil
venture with Argentina's YPF.
Chevron has signed an agreement with YPF to invest up
to $1.5 billion in the Vaca Muerta shale megafield, located in
Argentina's southern region of Patagonia.
Late last year an Argentinean judge ordered a freeze on
up to $19 billion worth of assets held by Chevron in Argentina as part
of an environmental lawsuit by Ecuadorean villagers who say the company
is responsible for contamination.
