Mexico. - The producing fields from the southeast region, where the biggest wealth in hydrocarbons of the country is located, as well as some regions in deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico and locations of gas shale will be selected by Pemex to have exclusivity in its exploitation, once it was open the door to participants in the exploration and production of raw, announced this Thursday (3/6/14) the company. While the executive doesn't present the proposal of secondary legislation of the energy reformation that put it end to seven decades of exclusivity of the Mexican State in the exploitation of the petroleum, Pemex will present to the energy Secretary (Sener, their initials in Spanish) to more to take 21 in this month of March, an exclusivity application for the exploitation of oil fields. In the energy reformation it is early that the first license of exploitation of fields is only requested by Pemex, in what is known as the “beat zero” of assignment of contracts, process by means of which Pemex conserves the fields in those that he is already working and in those that it has interest.

 Later on it is defined the “beat zero” for September of this year, and it has also been denominated “beat Mexico", the other oil companies will be able to request so much exploration licenses of Pemex like, for the first time from the expropriation of 1938, particular and outsider companies, of agreement with the reformation. For the application that makes Pemex to Sener, this month of exclusive licenses of exploitation is clear the fields where Pemex has advantage: those of the southeast of the country, as Cantarell (Campeche) and Koo Malub Zaap, where Pemex is extremely competitive and that is what we will take in consideration for the “beat zero", Rodolfo Campos, sub-director of Treasury of Pemex, sustained when participating in a forum organized by LatinFinance, to the one that representatives of companies went interested in the business that opens up to peculiar with the energy reformation. The exploration costs and extraction and substitution of Pemex in the southeast region are of little more than 20 dollars the barrel, when in the industry on the average is duplicated. it wants to privatize everything The transitory article (T) 4 of the energy reformation (RE) “it enumerates recruiting modalities to explore and to extract hydrocarbons: of services, of utility or shared production, or of license".

This last paragraph was introduced by insistence of the PAN that there was something that resembled the concessions that continue refusing in the reformed constitutional text. When being added that in each case “the State will define the contractual pattern” it is revealed that what is wanted is a juridical picture that the Executive's discretionarily increases opening recruiting modalities little regulated. The modalities that the state will pay to their productive companies also settle down: cash, with a part of the utility, with a portion of the production, with the onerous transmission of the hydrocarbons once they have been extracted of the underground (in the licenses). The T4 also settle down that the considerations and taxes in charge of the productive companies will be regulated in the cases in that they will be imposed the payment in favor of the Nation for the extracted products that they are transferred. It is dangerous this article since in the writing it is left open the door so that they are transferred to the companies’ products extracted without payment on behalf of the transnational company. The T5 article refer to that the productive companies of the State (this legal figure is created to steal to the Mexican town) and the private ones will be able to report for countable and financial effects the assignment or corresponding contract and its prospective benefits, provided it is affirmed in the assignments or contracts that the hydrocarbons that are in the underground are property of the nation.

 With this they convert the assignments (exclusive of Pemex) or contracts (open to private companies) in active fixed of the companies, what allows them to elevate their value in financial markets, to emit new actions and to hire loans. The clause about the property of the nation is redundant, since it is already affirmed in the paragraph 7 added by the RE to the art. 27 of the Great Letter, it is stupid and absurd. What would have to have been established in the T5, if really the property of the petroleum in the underground continues being property of the nation, it is the nonnegotiable character and in it isn’t sizeable of contracts and assignments. The T6 specify that Pemex will request the Sener, in a term of 90 days that conquers at the end of March, the award (as assignments) of “the areas in exploration and the fields that are in production that is in capacity of operating through assignments, for that which will credit that it has the technical, financial capacities and of necessary execution to explore and to extract the hydrocarbons in efficient and competitive form". it is clumsy the above-mentioned if we remember that during more than 70 years, Pemex paid last year to the revenue more than a billion dollars, and it is demanded them to demonstrate its capacity. These corrupt and inapt legislators threaten to Pemex and them early to remove them their areas of exploitation and exploitation in those that has already made their investments, for that which they settled down with cruelty the process of award of assignments, disqualifying of facto the capacities of Pemex.

In the ‘beat zero’ it will be dismantled Pemex disqualifying it, denying their capacities and they will arrive to the end of converting it and outsourcings office. The restriction to the dismantlement can be the necessity to assure the fiscal resources: the billion dollars that Pemex contributes annually. The T8 are a totalitarian disposition and it sustains that the exploration activities and extraction of petroleum and the public service of transmission and electric power distribution (to be strategic) they will have preference on any other one that implies the use of the surface and of the underground. It will allow the occupation of the floor without previous warning, (still in archaeological areas) and later the compensation would come. The oil brigades will be unstoppable and they will condemn the whole floor that you/they want. The T9 reveal the character sell-homelands when thinking of the modality contractual called “recovery of costs", and we can see the most disastrous modality that they come using the transnational ones in the third world. In accordance with this outsiders strategy fill out the costs so that at the end they keep all the petroleum that they extract. About T10 and T11 they are privatized: zoning the country for later to bid the contracts for their exploration and exploitation (in exchange for glass bills); the refinement of the petroleum is privatized since even you early the sale of the Mexican refineries; the access open of the nets property of the CFE to sell electricity in the T11. With this attitude and characteristic subhuman to the one that have reduced our Pemex legislators and oligarchical government, since have placed it in third import place in refined of petroleum and gas for industrial and domestic consumption. The T11 add that the electric transmission opens up to the privatization, and it specifies that the transnational ones will be able to finance, to install, to maintain, to negotiate, to operate and to enlarge the infrastructure to lend the public service of transmission and electric power distribution. The capitalism Mexican today anything seems because everything is subcontracted (it is simulated), until the functions of the State.

The just spirit of Oceangate began to control. They are already giving bill the politicians that it is a boomerang against important characters of the political and financial class. The superior audit of the Congress every year they comes pointing out robberies and frauds in the execution of the contracts of the ‘Mr. of the Roosters’, Amado (Dear) Yañez, and their company Oceanography, even this way for watchword superior they continued granting him contracts in Pemex and giving money in Banamex. There were two indications: the Qualifiers Fitch and Standard & amp; Poors alerted behind years on its financial situation and they retired him its credit note for lack of information.
