The report identifies risks for the several stakeholders in the Triónauction: the government, Pemex and prospective bidders. In the second part of the discussion,we offer ideas for how to improve the process of partner selection.

100219 This report is a preview of material to be presented at an introductory workshop on Englishproficiency at an agency of the Mexican federal government. The initial goal will be to convinceattendees that they are not actually hearing English as spoken; instead, they are hearingEnglish through the filter of their Spanish phonological expectations. A second goal will be tobriefly present selected concepts in linguistics that illuminate previously-unnoticed aspects ofEnglish pronunciation. A third goal will be to motivate participants to undertake a new effort toadvance their proficiency in English.

FRI, AUG 12, 16 Hydrocarbon Contract Matrix: Making Sense of Mexico's Contract Models

10038 This report examines each of the contract models set forth in Mexico's hydrocarbon legislation.The Mexican concept of license is contrasted with the U.S. concept of lease (as applied infederal waters). The occasion for this report is the scheduled historic auction of the Trión blockthat would convey a working interest in a Pemex block and that would thereby establish anupstream partnership.

TUE, AUG 2, 16 The Departure of Lourdes Melgar

814 Lourdes Melgar had become the public face of the Energy Ministry in international forums,most recently at the Offshore Technology Conference where she on May 3 she spoke of theparallel auctions of Pemex and government blocks in Round 1.4. This prediction was validatedon July 28th, when CNH published the bidding documents for an auction of a working interestin Pemex leases in the Trion area adjacent to Block 1. This report asks: Why resign now?

THU, JUL 21, 16 Parallel Auctions in Perdido

1000084 In the column "La Energía de Baker" published in MILENIO on July 19, we observed thatPemex was coming into Round 1.4 at 11:45 p.m., proposing 2 of (its 3) blocks in the Trion areafor private investment. The published text omitted a paragraph of conclusions about Pemex'soptions going forward. This report provides a translation of the complete text.The matter is this:The legal framework does not permit a farmout (as understood outside Mexico); Pemex has nobudget to develop Trion by itself; the option of a production sharing agreement with carriedinterest is uniquely feasible.

071916 This column asks, skeptically, about the likelihood that the many tasks associated with a leaseauction can be carried out of two blocks of Pemex in the Perdido area in time for the auction ofdeep water blocks in CNH Round 1.4. Ten days later, CNH published its auction schedule forPemex’s leases in the Trión areas to coincide with the date for the auction of the government’sblocks (Dec. 5, 2016). The role of Lourdes Melgar in promoting synergy between Pemex andother oil companies is mentioned. Published in MILENIO “La Energía de Baker.”

MON, JUL 18, 16 Energy Reform as PRI Franchise: Looking for the long-cycle pattern

813 Major changes in energy policy in Mexico have always taken place during PRI administrations.This report asks about how the energy reform package of 2013-15 may be understood as aPRI work-product, that is, as measures that are influenced by PRI’s ideology andseven-decade experience of governing Mexico in the 20th century. The report sees thatexperience as a factor that negatively influenced the extent of the reform. The reportspeculates about the shape of a future energy reform that will go beyond traditional PRIconstraints.

TUE, JUL 12, 16 Seeking Synergy in Perdido (Update)

809.1 On June 5, Pemex's board of directors approved recommending the development of two of itsblocks in the deep water Perdido Area with partners. Since then, no information has beenreleased. In this updated report, we show that there is a 3rd Pemex block in the Trion Area(AE-94), a working interest in which should be offered to complement the acreage of Block 1.We review options for parternership models and conclude that there is insufficient time in the2016 calendar to organize an auction for the Trion leases. For this reason, the bidding for Block1 should be rescheduled for 2017.

TUE, JUN 21, 16 Restructuring Mexico's Electricity Market: Origin and Outlook

812 This report takes a fresh look at the origin and policy goals of the electricity reforms in Mexico.Just as the Electricity Act of 1992 sought to correct unintended consequences of thenationalization in 1960; so too the electricity package of 2013-15 seeks to correct unintendednegative consequences of the 1992 regime. The new regime preserves a CFE as the centraleconomic actor. Its high costs should translate to good head-room for power developers.

1000083 This report draws on industry courses for an initial impression of Pemex’s last-minute proposalto include the Trión block in an auction to be scheduled in parallel with Round 1.4. Threepotential commercial arrangements are considered: 1) Farmout, 2) Standard ProductionSharing Agreement (PSA) and 3) Carried PSA. In order to allow sufficient time for the bid roundto be organized and for prospective bidders to have access to a data room, Block 1 of Round1.4 should be rescheduled at an appropriated time in 2017.

Table 1 provides a list of the advantages and disadvantages of eachmodel from the perspective of the original lessor. The report calls attention to the need for anauction round of Pemex blocks in the Perdido Area to complement the blocks offered by thegovernment in Round 1.4.

WED, APR 20, 16 Payout: An important milestone in a farmout project

100218 Payout is the moment in the accounting of costs and revenue in a farmout project where thebalance is zero: that is, all investment and operating costs have been recovered through thesale of hydrocarbons. In onshore and shallow-water fields, this milestone requires of theoriginal leaseholder, or Farmor, either to make a commitment to become a title interest ownerin the well or field or to continue to receive royalty payments from the Farmee. Elevenmilestones are identified and briefly described. Exhibit A illustrates a farm-in proposal. Exhibit Badds details about the cost accounting of payout.

100217 This report draws on participation in the 10th anniversary celebration of the Energy RegulatoryCommission (CRE) that was held at Boca del Río in Veracruz during October 15-18, 2005. Thereport offers a critique of the progam and proceedings of the 20+1 commemoraton that washeld in Mexico City on Dec. 21-22, 2015. The general observation is that in its first 20 years,CRE failed to live up to its goal of becoming the regulator of open markets, evidence of whichis that the prices of all energy products are still regulated by the State, principally by CRE.

This report provides a basic description of a farmout agreement, and thethen examines the terms and concepts of Mexico’s hydrocarbon legislation to see how closelythey match international usage. Absent from the discussion in Mexico is the eventual need ofthe CNH contractor for the commercial figure of farmout.

FRI, MAR 4, 16 Mexico's Midstream and Downstream Gas Outlook: Hopeful

805 This report examines the outlook for Mexico’s natural gas market in its upstream, midstreamand downstream segments. All three market segments are ready for an upgrade: the upstreamby allowing a CNH contractor unregulated pricing; the midstream by an implementation of theEnergy Regulatory Commission’s Gas Release Program that requires Pemex to down-size itscommercial gas portfolio by 70%; and the downstream by the new volume and T&C that couldbe offered by new-to-market gas marketers. Market actors all along the gas value chain shouldsee new opportunities--and new risks.

He also advocatesgiving the Hydrocarbon Commission (CNH) discretionary authority in the awarding of auctionswhere bidders submit similar offers.

THU, FEB 18, 16 Mexico's Upstream Reform in 2015

803 In this report, 26 elements of the Energy Reform of 2013-14 are selected for scoring on a5-point scale of value creation, where 5 = strong value creation and 1 = severe valuedestruction. Each element is scored twice, once for political value, second for commercialvalue. With few exceptions, political values were higher than commercial ones for any givenelement of the energy reform. This discrepancy is interpreted as the principal reason why in thethree bid rounds of 2015, no major American oil company chose to compete. Bid Round 1.4 isseen as the test of whether the government has taken corrective measures.
