(Reuters) -Argentina's national oil company YPF announced on Wednesday it reversed losses during the second quarter from the year before, boosted by a surge in oil and gas prices in the market.

The firm's net profit hit 94.06 billion pesos ($751 million), up from a 46.26 billion peso net loss from the year-earlier period.

The state-run producer's revenue totaled $4.8 billion in the quarter, a 44.9% increase.

YPF said in statement it expects to increase its investment for 2022 by 10% to $4 billion, up 50% from 2021.
