About this event
In December 2013, Mexico introduced a constitutional reform that allowed companies other than state-owned oil firm Petroleos Mexicanos to own Mexican production blocks for the first time since the nationalization of the country's oil sector in 1938. Since then, Mexico City has been organizing its Round One bidding process to award oil production and exploration blocks to private companies and has increased the flexibility of its minimum work commitment requirements and changed its security credit guarantee.
While the great majority of the oil and gas industry is in the hands of PEMEX, there are opportunities for UK companies, particularly with the new contract schemes and also for equipment and service suppliers in specific projects. British firms already participate in Mexico's oil and gas industry, both in the new contracts schemes and as service suppliers.
There is more potential to participate in making Mexico's future deepwater production a safe, clean and efficient one. The UK can share its expertise and experience from the North Sea in areas, such as: project management, major contracting, design and manufacturing of advanced equipment.
Join the EIC, UKTI, Rodríguez Dávalos Abogados (RDA) and Grupo Atalaya at this Mexico Showcase for an overview of the region’s energy sector, details of where the main opportunities lie and the support available to companies looking to do business across Mexico.
