“Business Opportunities in Mexico’s Energy Sector” is the topic of the 1st Mexico Energy and Business Forum. It will be presented by Mexico Energy and Business Magazine and held in Dallas, Texas on July 2nd, 2014. My company is one of the hosts of the event.
I continue the message that “America Needs America’s Energy”. I have also advocated that the US needs a secure neighbor in Mexico.
The forum is designed to discover the latest developments in Mexico’s energy sector. The panels of US and Mexico experts will provide information on business opportunities, research, findings and highlight the major breakthroughs as well as challenges facing this sector today.
The program will include the following subjects: why invest in Mexico today, the energy forum is a legislative panorama- update on the secondary laws drafted by Mexico’s Congress that will dictate contract logistics, welcoming the private sector to the energy industry- types of contracts to be award by the National Hydrocarbon Commission to Pemex and private entities, as well as roles the electricity sector and other energy industries will play, and doing business in the energy sector in Mexico- the energy reform approved by Mexico’s Congress has sparked optimism and confidence among investors, despite expected challenges, the overall sentiment is that the economy will improve significantly in the coming years.
Speakers as of this writing include the chief executive for the Mexico Federal Electricity Commission, the president of the energy commission in the Senate, Pemex executives, commissioner for the Mexico Energy Regulatory Commission and the minister of the energy commission/Mexico Congress.
As I have mentioned in past columns, several years ago, I had the opportunity of serving on an advisory committee appointed by the Mexico Trade Commissioner who was based in the Dallas, Texas regional office. The advisory committee’s focus was trade and tourism between Mexico and the US.
One issue that was addressed was US and Mexico relations. Since 1938, Mexico has been under strict governmental guidelines with no privatization in place. In August of 2013, the President of Mexico proposed a plan to open its oil and gas sector to foreign investments through private-public partnerships. With US technology and expertise, Mexico and North America could potentially benefit in a very positive way. A more secure Mexico means much to the America’s security.
The forum will provide Mexican lawmakers and senators the opportunity to explain the latest regulatory and legislative laws approved by Mexico’s Congress and allow input on potential US energy sector involvement.
