The consortium to which two oil blocks were awarded of those auctioned
in the first phase of the round one, with what put on end to 80 years of oil
nationalization Sierra Oil & Gas, in voice of Ivan Sandrea manifested
that the process was transparent and that it looks for alliances with more
companies. In an encounter with diverse media denying the access to the
newspaper La Jornada the directive that counts among their shareholders to
Hipolito Gerard Rivero, brother-in-law of the ex-president Carlos Salinas, he
announced investments of between 144 million and 150 million dollars to work
in the awarded areas. This quantity is the enough minimum for the exploration
phase in the oil blocks, and it is believed that he extends up to four years
the investment, development and production. "The credit line that we
should put for the program that one has projected it is of between 144 and
150 million dollars, and that covers the minimum initial plan of work",
Sandrea sustained.
This character at the moment is president
of the consortium integrated by the English oil company Premier Oil PLC that
has been denounced in Argentinean federal tribunals to carry out exploration
activities without having the corresponding authorization in recent
years. Sierra Oil & gas is partner
of Premier Oil PLC and of the American Talos Energy LLC. The three
participated as consortium in the bid of 14 auctioned blocks the past 15 of
July for the Mexican government for the exploration and exploitation of
hydrocarbons in shallow and territorial waters of the Gulf of Mexico, in the
one which 12 deserts were declared and they were only awarded 2 of 7 oil
blocks. General director Ivan Sandrea
(IS) he explained that the probability of finding petroleum in most of the
blocks is of between 25 and 33 percent, but that will depend on the
effectiveness of each company. He
commented that before of the first phase of bids one had the expectation that
he enters 30 and 50 percent of the blocks they would be awarded, and those
that not, it would be due to that they were under that required by the
government and that, “finds me that it is very well."
The result of the auction was of 14
percent, very under the estimate of the Secretary of Energy, which calculated
that they would be assigned between 30 and 50 percent of the 14 on blocks in
the table of oil auctions. But 12 were declared deserts when not having
proposed some and to give proposals below the minimum values fixed by the
Treasury. The first oil block assigned to the consortium Sierra Oil &
Gas, company created in 1914, was the one that understood the area 2, located
in the basin of the southeast in front of the Veracruz State, with extension
of 194 square kilometers. The area 7 is located in shallow waters in front of
the coast of Tabasco, which has an extension of 464 square kilometers, where
it is possible to extract slight petroleum. In their winning offers, the
consortium headed by Sierra Oil & Gas offered to the State a
participation in the operative utilities of 68, 99 and 10 percent in the
increment in the minimum program of work. Both superior levels to the minimum
values settled down by the Treasury that they were respectively of 40 and
zero percent respectively.
This company that won in the first round,
wants to participate in the exploration of non-conventional fields, although it
discarded to enter to the process that includes the exploration and in deep
waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Although Ignacio Fernandez denied it the
reality that didn't have the opportunity to enter to the event –La Jornada- , and they tossed the
blame to the lack of communication and to the one damaged cellular of the
general director.
Uneasiness for reformations
The reformations don't give result although
the authorities make an effort to create occult theories that justify the
devaluation of the currency with regard to the dollar and raisin from 12.90
to 17.50 in this six years of the PRI, but the businessmen have another
vision. Manuel Herrera, president of Concamin, says that we don't believe
that short term conditions exist so that we can think in that the peso returns
to a stability", and he adds it impacts in different ways in the
industry: there are exporters that produce everything in Mexico to who the
exchange rate benefits them to have more competitive costs toward the
exterior. However the industry that it import a great part of the inputs is
having a great negative impact that it will be able to influence in this on
the way to deceleration". The reports are developing: it continues
falling the mining production, there are a low growth of the generating
industry of electricity and it provide of gas and it dilutes; the
construction lost dynamism and the production manufacturer had a remarkable
deceleration. Herrera suggests some measures that could soften the situation,
for example, to advance the government purchases of the third trimester of
the year, since alone a part has been exercised of that budgotten. Although
the president of Concamin didn't mention it, it is not superfluous to
remember that in these days the engaged effects benefactors of the
reformations of EPN should already be perceiving: the labor one reform, the Treasure
reform and the duty reform.
However, everything points to that it will
finish the six years and we won't see anything of that offered. The emanated
governments of the PRI - PAN is prodigal in signing any silly pact, and in
particular the commercial ones that open the doors of the customers so that
they invade us products scrap, and this but it was enough the smuggling
impelled by bands criminals. Arnulfo R. Gómez, professor of the Universidad Anahuac,
says that “the officials ignore the structure of the national production; it
is necessary a competitive market". Treaties as the NAFTA have taken to
Mexico to an increase of the imports of inputs, what causes a drop in the
value from the products national correspondents to the outsider. The expert
in trade exterior indicates that none of the commercial agreements has been
able to increase the flow of foreign investment neither to generate high
employment indexes.
FICREA
They are notorious the artifices that Jaime
Gonzalez Aguade, president of the Bank National Commission uses and of Values
(CNBV) – Mexican Stock Exchanges - , to avoid his responsibility in the fraud
of Ficrea. The interesting thing is that it doesn't want to return their
complete money to the savers, however it made exceptions for some recommended
clients, and this doesn't finish. The INAI ordered the CNBV to give public
version of the reports that contain the irregularities in the operation of
Ficrea as well as the payments made the savers starting from the date of the
liquidation declaration and up to March of 2015.particularly, 31 day the CNBV
should give the reports presented by the legal representative of the company
and the inspector manager, to the Committee of Protection to the Saving of
the Fund of Protection of Popular Financial Societies; besides the documents
that give bill of the payments made the registered savers or third ones, in
those that it is included the concept and corresponding authorizations.
Thirst has the antecedent of a matter that it requested information but the
CNBV it declare the nonexistence of the reports and it classified them as
confidential the documentation related with the payments. It disconfirm,
presented a revision resource before the INAI, to which was alternated the
commissioned Areli Cano Guadiana. In the analysis of the matter, it was
noticed that she was not carried out a correct search of the referred
reports, all time that only channeled the application to the Contentious
General Direction, omitting to alternate it to the Presidency of the
Commission and Government's Meeting, administrative units that could also
have the required information for their legal attributions. (La
Jornada, economia, p.p. 6-7, July 22, 2015).
