Mexico: Opportunities in a New Energy Market
In Partnership with Kinetic

A One-Day Classroom Seminar
The energy industry in North America is on the edge of another revolution. This time, it involves major changes in Mexico's energy law, which have opened up the market to private investment, both domestic and foreign, introducing competition in a sector that was historically mostly controlled by the Mexican government.

This new era in energy regulation offers a wealth of opportunity for: •Oil and gas exploration and production, by allowing competitive access to rich reserves on land and off shore in Mexican territory •The operation of pipelines and storage facilities for all fuels, by enhancing open access rules and their enforcement •Oil refining and gas processing, through a new permits' regime •A dynamic market to flourish for all oil and gas sectors and products.

This seminar provides an in depth overview of the legislation and the opportunities and implementation challenges for all sectors of the oil and gas industry in Mexico.
