OFFERING MEMORANDUM

U.S.$500,000,000

Petrobras Argentina S.A.
7.375% Notes due 2023
We are offering U.S.$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 7.375% notes due 2023, which we refer to as the "notes." The notes will mature on
July 21, 2023. Interest on the notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 21 and July 21 of each year commencing on January 21, 2017, calculated on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
At any time prior to July 21, 2020, we may, at our option, redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus the Applicable Redemption Premium (as defined in this offering memorandum). At any time on
and after July 21, 2020, we may redeem the notes, at our option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at redemption prices described in this offering
memorandum, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the date of redemption. We may also redeem the notes, in whole but not in part
upon the occurrence of specified Argentine tax events. Under certain circumstances, holders of the notes will have the right to require us to repurchase the notes. See
"Description of the Notes."
The notes will be our general, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, ranking equally without any preference among themselves and with all of our
other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding, except as otherwise provided by law. The notes will be
subordinated to all of our existing and future secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations, and to all of the existing and future
obligations of our subsidiaries.
We have launched a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for any and all of our U.S.$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% series S notes
due 2017 (the "Series S Notes") validly tendered and accepted by us on or before August 2, 2016. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repurchase
any and all of our Series S Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Tender Offer and redeem any Series S Notes remaining outstanding after
completion of the Tender Offer, and for one or more of the following: (i) working capital in Argentina, (ii) investments in tangible assets located in Argentina and
(iii) capital contributions in controlled or related corporations, provided that such contributions are used for the purposes of (i) or (ii) above. The Tender Offer is not
being made pursuant to this offering memorandum. The settlement of the Tender Offer is contingent upon the closing of this offering. This offering of notes,
however, is not conditioned on the consummation of the Tender Offer.
The notes will constitute non-convertible negotiable obligations under, and will be issued pursuant to, and in compliance with all the requirements of, and
will be entitled to the benefits set forth and subject to the procedural requirements established in, the Argentine Negotiable Obligations Law No. 23,576, as amended
(the "Negotiable Obligations Law"), Law No. 26,831 (the "Argentine Securities Law"), the General Resolution No. 622/2013, as amended (the "Resolution 622"),
issued by the Comisión Nacional de Valores, the Argentine Securities Commission (the "CNV"), and any other applicable laws and regulations of the Republic of
Argentina ("Argentina").
On May 13, 2016, Petrobras International Braspetro B.V., a subsidiary of Petrobras, entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the "SPA") with Pampa
Energia S.A. ("Pampa") for the sale of the shares of Petrobras Participaciones S.L., which holds 67.193% of our capital stock and voting rights. The closing of the
Acquisition (as defined below) is subject to certain conditions precedent under the SPA, including, among others, the refinancing of the Series S Notes. On May 12,
2016, Pampa announced that its board of directors was evaluating the possibility of, upon closing of the Acquisition and completion of the mandatory tender and
voluntary exchange offers for all of our outstanding Class B shares, the merger of the Company with and into Pampa (the "Proposed Merger"). If the Proposed
Merger were approved and completed, Pampa would be our successor company and the obligor of the notes.
We will apply to have the notes listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market, the
exchange-regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Euro MTF Market"), to have the notes listed on the Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires S.A.
(the "MERVAL") and to have the notes admitted to trading on the Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A. (the "MAE"). This offering memorandum constitutes a
prospectus for purposes of Part IV of the Luxembourg law on prospectus securities dated July 10, 2005, as amended. To the best of our knowledge, the information
contained in this offering memorandum is in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect its import.
Investing in the notes involves risks that are described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 29 of this offering memorandum and the
section entitled "Key Information-- Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, which is incorporated
by reference and included for convenience into this offering memorandum.
Issue Price: 99.329% plus accrued interest, if any, from July 21, 2016
The notes will be issued under our U.S.$500,000,000 Medium and Short-Term Note Program authorized by the CNV by Resolution No.17,162 dated
August 15, 2013 (the "Program"). The CNV authorization means only that the information requirements of the CNV have been satisfied. Offers of the notes to the
public in Argentina will be made by a prospectus and a pricing supplement in the Spanish language in accordance with CNV regulations containing substantially the
same information as this offering memorandum, other than with respect to the description of U.S. securities and tax laws that are relevant to the notes, but in a
different format (the "Argentine Offering Memorandum"). The CNV has not rendered any opinion in respect of the accuracy of the information contained in the
Argentine Offering Memorandum or this offering memorandum.
The notes have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act"), or with the securities
regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction in the United States. The notes may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. persons,
except to qualified institutional buyers ("QIBs") in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule

sellers of the notes may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. Any offer or sale of bonds
in any Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented Directive 2003/71/EC and amendments thereto, including Directive
2010/73/EU (the "Prospectus Directive"), must be addressed to Qualified Investors (as defined in the Prospectus Directive). For further details about
eligible offerees and resale restrictions, see "Notice to Investors" and "Transfer Restrictions."

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, 2014
and 2013 (the "Audited Consolidated Financial Statements") are included in Item 18 of our 2015 20-F incorporated
by reference and included for convenience into this offering memorandum. Our Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements have been audited by Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L., an independent registered public accounting firm
in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a member firm of the PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited network ("PwC"),
as set forth in their report incorporated by reference into this offering memorandum.
The Audited Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), as
approved by Technical Resolution No. 26 of the Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias
Económicas (the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences, or the "FACPCE"), as
amended by Technical Resolution No. 29 of the FACPCE, and the regulations issued by the CNV.
Also incorporated by reference into this offering memorandum are our unaudited condensed interim
consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015
(the "Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements", and together with the Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements, the "Financial Statements"), which were not audited and were prepared in
accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34-"Interim Financial Reporting," as issued by the IASB
(adopted by the CNV through General Resolution No. 562/09 and supplements). Our Unaudited Condensed Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Our historical
results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2016, or any future period. With respect to the Unaudited Condensed Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements, PwC has performed the procedures specified by the PCAOB for a review of
interim financial information as described in PCAOB AU Section 722, Interim Financial Information, and issued a
report dated June 7, 2016 which is incorporated by reference into this offering memorandum. Such review is
substantially limited in scope compared to an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, PwC has not expressed such an opinion on the unaudited
interim financial information.
We maintain our financial books and records and publish our financial statements in Argentine Pesos.
In accordance with IFRS, the financial information in this offering memorandum has not been adjusted to
reflect inflation. Inflation could therefore affect the comparability of the different periods presented herein.
Certain figures in this offering memorandum and in the Financial Statements have been rounded for ease of
presentation. Percentage figures in this offering memorandum have in some cases been calculated on the basis of
such figures prior to rounding. For this reason, certain percentage amounts in this offering memorandum may vary
from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in the Financial Statements. Certain
other amounts in this offering memorandum may not sum due to rounding.

Exchange Rates

USE OF NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

Our Consolidated EBITDA, as defined under the Indenture (as defined below) for a period, means for the
Company and its Designated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (a) the operating profit as reported in accordance
with IFRS for such period ("Consolidated Operating Income"), plus (b) to the extent deducted in determining the
Consolidated Operating Income for such period, the sum of, without duplication, (i) depreciation and amortization
expenses for such period and (ii) non-cash charges, expenses or losses for such period (other than any non-cash
charge, expense or loss to the extent it represents an accrual of or a reserve for cash expenditures in any future
period or amortization of a prepaid cash item that was paid in a prior period) minus (c) to the extent included in
determining Consolidated Operating Income for such period, non-cash gains for such period (other than any non-
cash gains to the extent it represents the reversal of an accrual or a reserve for potential cash gain in any prior period
or any non-cash gains in respect of which cash was received in a prior period or will be received in a future period).

Our Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined under the Indenture, is calculated, as of any date of
determination, by obtaining the ratio of: (1) the aggregate outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its
Designated Subsidiaries as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements prepared on a
consolidated basis in accordance with IFRS are available in accordance with the Indenture, to (2) Consolidated
EBITDA for the period of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the date of such
determination for which financial statements are available in accordance with the Indenture.

Our Consolidated Coverage Ratio, as defined under the Indenture, is calculated, as of any date of
determination, by obtaining the ratio of, (x) the aggregate amount of Consolidated EBITDA for the period of the
most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the date of such determination for which financial
statements prepared on a consolidated basis in accordance with IFRS are made available under the Indenture to (y)
Consolidated Interest Expense for such four fiscal quarters.

Certain financial measures, such as Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Consolidated
Coverage Ratio presented in this offering memorandum are not recognized under IFRS. Such non-IFRS measures
have no standard meaning under IFRS or otherwise and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an
investor's understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful
financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period to period excluding certain items that we believe
are not representative of our core business. These financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools,
and you should not consider them in isolation, as indicative of the cash available to us to make payments under the
notes as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. In addition, because other companies may
calculate these financial measures differently than we do, these financial measures may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are a duly incorporated sociedad anónima organized under the laws of Argentina. Substantially all of
our assets are located in Argentina. All of our directors and executive officers reside in Argentina, and all or a
substantial portion of their assets are also located in Argentina or elsewhere outside of the United States. As a
result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or
to enforce against them or against us judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities
laws of the United States or the laws of other jurisdictions.
We have been advised by our Argentine counsel, Marval, O'Farrell & Mairal, that there is doubt as to
whether the courts of Argentina would enforce in all respects, to the same extent and in as timely a manner as a U.S.
or other non-Argentine court, an original action predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S.
federal securities laws or other non-Argentine securities laws; and that the enforceability in Argentine courts of
judgments of U.S. or other non-Argentine courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal
securities laws or other non-Argentine securities laws will be subject to compliance with certain requirements under
Argentine law, including that any such judgment does not violate Argentine public policy (orden público argentino).
Enforcement of foreign judgments would be recognized and enforced by the courts in Argentina provided
that the requirements of Argentine law are met, such as: (i) the judgment, which must be final in the jurisdiction
where rendered, was issued by a court competent in accordance with Argentine principles regarding international
jurisdiction and resulted from a personal action, or an in rem action with respect to personal property if such
property was transferred to Argentine territory during or after the prosecution of the foreign action; (ii) the defendant
against whom enforcement of the judgment is sought was personally served with the summons and, in accordance
with due process of law, was given an opportunity to defend against such foreign action; (iii) the judgment must be
valid in the jurisdiction where rendered and its authenticity must be established in accordance with the requirements
of Argentine law; (iv) the judgment does not violate the principles of public policy of Argentine law; and (v) the
judgment is not contrary to a prior or simultaneous judgment of an Argentine court.
