Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to attend the 2nd Offshore Mexico Congress 2017 event, which will be held in Mexico City during November 13-14th, 2017.

Earlier this year, CNH authorized 2-D and 3-D campaigns totaling 226,800 sq km (87,568 sq miles). More than 2 million sq km (772,204 sq miles) of new 2-D and 3-D seismic are expected to lure companies to Mexico’s E&P sector.

In February, SENER and CNH revealed that 23 deepwater, 17 shallow-water and 26 onshore exploration areas—with a total of 10.8 BBOE of prospective resources—will be up for grabs in rounds 2, 3 and 4. Mexico will also auction 144 onshore, 39 shallow-water and two offshore heavy oil production blocks with combined remaining resources of 2.94 BBOE. Pemex also demonstrated plenty of partnership opportunities in its 2017-2021 Business Plan. Upcoming licensing rounds may be even more enticing for newcomers.

Although current low oil price has delayed many global upstream projects, but Mexico’s ambition and sincere, as well as the lack of infrastructure, local technical capability and budget for exploring, will show more opportunities for global offshore players.

The 2nd Offshore Mexico Congress 2017 aims to be a timely platform for global stakeholders to understand and success in Mexico offshore sector, by presenting the latest E&P regulation & policies changes, new biddings and Pemex farm-out blocks’ information & investment opportunities, awarded projects’ progress, international good practice & innovative technology showcase, together with unlimited opportunities for international peers to network with local governors, regulators, operators, and suppliers for future cooperation.

I look forward to your participation in 2nd Mexico Offshore Congress 2017.

Best regards,

Organizing Committee of 2nd Offshore Mexico Congress 2017
