Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to your request, we have conducted a reserves evaluation of the net proved oil, natural gas liquids (NGL), and gas reserves, as of
December 31, 2014, of certain selected properties in which Petrobras Argentina S.A. has represented that it owns an interest. This evaluation was completed on January 30, 2015. The properties appraised consist of working interests
located in Argentina. Petrobras Argentina S.A. has represented that these properties account for 80 percent on a net equivalent barrel basis of Petrobras Argentina S.A.s net proved reserves as of December 31, 2014. These reserves
represent 100 percent of properties operated by Petrobras Argentina S.A. The net proved reserves estimates have been prepared in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 410(a) (1)(32) of Regulation SX of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States. This report was prepared in accordance with guidelines specified in Item 1202 (a)(8) of Regulation S-K and is to be used for inclusion in certain SEC filings by Petrobras Argentina
S.A.

Reserves included herein are expressed as net reserves. Gross reserves are defined as the total estimated petroleum to be produced
from these properties after December 31, 2014. Net reserves are defined as that portion of the gross reserves attributable to the interests owned by Petrobras Argentina S.A. after deducting all interests owned by others. Petrobras Argentina
S.A. has advised that its government royalty obligation is paid in cash; therefore, net reserves have not been reduced in consideration of this royalty obligation.

Estimates of oil, NGL, and gas reserves should be regarded only as estimates that may change
as further production history and additional information become available. Not only are such reserves estimates based on that information which is currently available, but such estimates are also subject to the uncertainties inherent in the
application of judgmental factors in interpreting such information.

Data used in this evaluation were obtained from reviews with
Petrobras Argentina S.A. personnel, from Petrobras Argentina S.A. files, from records on file with the appropriate regulatory agencies, and from public sources. In the preparation of this report we have relied, without independent verification, upon
such information furnished by Petrobras Argentina S.A. with respect to property interests, production from such properties, current costs of operation and development, current prices for production, agreements relating to current and future
operations and sale of production, and various other information and data that were accepted as represented. A field examination of the properties was not considered necessary for the purposes of this report.

Methodology and Procedures

Estimates of reserves were prepared by the use of appropriate geologic, petroleum engineering, and evaluation principles and techniques that
are in accordance with practices generally recognized by the petroleum industry as presented in the publication of the Society of Petroleum Engineers entitled Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves
Information (Revision as of February 19, 2007). The method or combination of methods used in the analysis of each reservoir was tempered by experience with similar reservoirs, stage of development, quality and completeness of basic data,
and production history.

For depletion-type reservoirs or those whose performance disclosed a reliable decline in producing-rate trends or
other diagnostic characteristics, reserves were estimated by the application of appropriate decline curves or other performance relationships. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limits of economic
production or to the limit of the production licenses as appropriate.

Gas volumes estimated herein are expressed as marketable gas at a
temperature base of 60 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and at a pressure base of 14.969 pounds per square inch absolute (psia). Marketable gas is defined as the total gas to be produced from the reservoirs after reduction for injection,
flare, and shrinkage resulting from field separation and processing, but before reduction for fuel usage.

NGL volumes estimated herein include condensate, C5+, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which is composed of propane and butane fractions. LPG reserves are converted from barrels to metric tons at 11.65 barrels per metric ton. LPG and C5+ reserves are the result of low-temperature plant processing. Condensate reserves estimated herein are those to be obtained by normal separator recovery.

Oil and NGL reserves estimated in this report are expressed in terms of 42 United States gallons per barrel. Oil reserves estimated
herein are those to be recovered by normal field operations.

Reserves estimated in this report include a 10-year extension of the
Rio Negro Province Concession as represented by Petrobras Argentina S.A.

Definition of Reserves

Petroleum reserves included in this report are classified as proved. Only proved reserves have been evaluated for this report. Reserves
classifications used in this report are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 410(a) (1)(32) of Regulation SX of the SEC. Reserves are judged to be economically producible in future years from known reservoirs
under existing economic and operating conditions and assuming continuation of current regulatory practices using conventional production methods and equipment. In the analyses of production-decline curves,
reserves were estimated only to the limit of economic rates of production under existing economic and operating conditions using prices and costs consistent with the effective date of this report, including consideration of changes in existing
prices provided only by contractual arrangements but not including escalations based upon future conditions. The petroleum reserves are classified as follows:

Proved oil and gas reserves  Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and
engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically produciblefrom a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating

methods, and government regulationsprior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of
whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

(i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:

(A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can,
with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a
well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an
associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid
injection) are included in the proved classification when:

(A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with
properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering
analysis on which the project or program was based; and (B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

|DeGolyer and MacNaughton |  |  



(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility
from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic
average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

Developed oil and gas reserves  Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered:

(i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively
minor compared to the cost of a new well; and

(ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of
the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

Undeveloped oil and gas reserves Undeveloped oil
and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

(i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of
production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

(ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are
scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time.

|DeGolyer and MacNaughton |  |  



(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any
acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in [section
210.410 (a) Definitions], or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

Primary Economic Assumptions

The following economic assumptions were used for estimating existing and future prices and costs. Prices and costs were provided
in United States dollars (U.S.$):

Oil, Condensate, and LPG Prices

Petrobras Argentina S.A. has represented that the oil, condensate, and LPG prices were based on two reference prices, calculated as the
unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period. Petrobras Argentina S.A. provided 12-month average prices
by property, based on differentials to the Medanito and Maria Ines reference prices of U.S.$80.40 and U.S.$76.50 per barrel, respectively. The volume-weighted average adjusted price attributable to estimated proved reserves was U.S. $78.12 per
barrel for oil, condensate, and C5+and U.S.$25.45 per barrel for LPG (U.S.$296.40 per metric ton). These prices were not escalated for inflation.

Gas Prices

Petrobras
Argentina S.A. has represented that the gas prices are defined by contractual arrangements. The volume-weighted average adjusted price attributable to estimated proved reserves was U.S.$3.61 per thousand cubic feet. The gas prices were held constant
thereafter.

Operating Expenses and Capital Costs

Operating expenses and capital costs, based on information provided by Petrobras Argentina S.A., were used in estimating future costs required
to operate the properties. In certain cases, future costs, either higher or lower than existing costs, may have been used because of anticipated changes in operating conditions. Estimates of abandonment costs were provided by Petrobras Argentina
S.A. and included as a capital cost in the relevant year. All costs are expressed in constant 2014 United States dollar terms. These costs were not escalated for inflation.

While the oil and gas industry may be subject to regulatory changes from time to time that could affect an industry participants ability
to recover its oil and gas reserves, we are not aware of any such governmental actions which would restrict the recovery of the December 31, 2014, estimated proved oil and gas reserves.

Our estimates of Petrobras Argentina S.A.s net proved reserves attributable to the reviewed properties are based on the definition of
proved reserves of the SEC and are as follows, expressed in millions of barrels (MMbbl), millions of cubic feet (MMcf), and millions of barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe):
