The 2014 New Energy Reform Laws of the Mexico Government allow the awarding of special contracts
to private and international companies. This allows E & P activities through government-owned
companies and also through privately owned and public international companies, using four basic contractual
models, being 1. service agreements, 2. profit-sharing agreements, 3. production-sharing agreements,
and 4. Exploration and Production licenses. All four agreement forms shall be negotiated after further
legislation by the Mexican Congress this year 2014. The national oil company has a first right of refusal over
lease blocks, as approved by the Mexico Ministry of Energy ( Secretary of Energy
). "Round Zero" will be announced soon, and opportunities for non-Mexican E&P
companies will become available to (a) continue E & P activities in progress, and (b) to make new discoveries.
Some blocks will not be assigned directly to the Mexican national oil company, and SENER will decide which winning
bidders will be awarded those blocks, based upon the public tender process of the National Hydrocarbons Commission (
CNH ). CNH will award the contracts and manage same. 1P reserves, 2P reserves, and 3P reserves maybe
will be retained by the national oil company, but most of the conventional onshore and shallow-water offshore
blocks and some deepwater blocks may become available to non-Mexican companies, with the permission of CNH. This includes
some horizontal well shale gas plays mostly in the North along the USA border. CNH approval of the possible plans
is expected by September 2014.
