34 Content Key changes to Mexican oil & gas sector Energy Agencies CENAGAS CENACE Mexican Petroleum Fund PEMEX ASEA Permits & Authorizations Cross participation Price regulation Recommendations by COFECE on gasolines 2

35 Key changes Mexican oil & gas sector Mexico maintains state ownership of subsoil hydrocarbons resources, but allowing companies to take ownership of those resources once they are extracted and to book reserves for accounting purposes; E&P activities could be undertaken by private parties different to PEMEX under four types of contracts Service contracts Profit-sharing contracts Production sharing contracts Licenses 3

36 Key changes Mexican oil & gas sector Opening refining, transport, storage, natural gas processing, and fuels sectors to private investment; Pemex was transformed into a productive state enterprise with an autonomous budget and a board of directors that does not include union representatives Strengthening agencies in the hydrocarbons industry with autonomy from the Ministry of Energy: National Hydrocarbons Commission Energy Regulatory Commission Creation of a National Agency for Industrial Safety and Environmental Protection (ASEA) and a sovereign wealth fund, the Mexican Petroleum Fund for Stabilization and Development. 4

37 Key changes Mexican oil & gas sector Pemex s monopoly on retail gasoline and diesel sales ended on December 31, Private parties are allowed to import gasoline and diesel as of April 1,

38 Key changes Mexican oil & gas sector National content percentage shall be observed: Statutory percentage for E&P activities is 35%, except for deep waters and ultra deep waters which percentage shall be determined on a case by case basis. The national content percentage for Round 1.4 (Deep waters) is of: From 3%-8% for the different stages of exploration stage From 4%-10% for the different stages of the development stage 6

39 7

40 Energy Agencies The National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) will act as upstream agency, the authority in charge of organizing the public bids to award E&P Contracts and the representative of the Nation in the E&P Contracts. The Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) will be the agency for the midstream and downstream activities, including Mexico s electric power industry. The CRE and CNH are formed by 7 Commissioners each one, with their corresponding deparments and officials. To select a Commissioners, the President of Mexico proposes two candidates and one of them shall be selected by 2/3 of the members of the Senate. 8

41 CENAGAS CENAGAS is a new entity created by the energy reform in charge of administering former Pemex s (a) transportation assets; and (ii) transportation and capacity reservation. CENAGAS is intended to be the independent system operator of the National Integrated Natural Gas Transportation and Storage System ( STNI ) that was transferred by Pemex, on an independent basis, to guarantee open access to all shippers, on a non-discriminatory basis, including marketers and endusers. CENAGAS will be responsible for administering bids to develop infrastructure projects aimed at ensuring efficient growth of the STNI and the general welfare. 9

42 Mexican Petroleum Fund The fund will manage the Mexican state revenue from E&P Contracts. It also will collect and pay the considerations to the E&P Contractors. The fund is meant to receive 4.7% of the country s GDP on an annual basis, which would then be divided in order of priority between the Budget Revenue Stabilization Fund, the Federal Entities Revenue Fund, the Hydrocarbons Extraction Fund, CONACYT-SENER, and the Federal Treasury. In the event a surplus would is obtained, it will be saved for future generations. 10

43 PEMEX Pemex, as a result of the opening of the industry, will be the predominant player subject to antitrust and competition laws to be enforced by the Federal Competition Commission, and the asymmetry regulation to be introduced by the CRE in the midstream and downstream sectors. Pemex was transformed into a State productive enterprise with corporate governance and special regime for assets, procurement, responsibilities and budget. 11

44 PEMEX Asymmetric regulation What is? Specific legal provisions to diminish monopolistic power of PEMEX issued by the CRE. Its purpose is to allow new participants to compete with PEMEX under similar circumstances. 12

45 PEMEX Asymmetric regulation Asymmetric regulation in first hand sales and transportation and storage capacity limits have been imposed to Pemex and its subsidiaries in order to counterbalance its market power. Pemex must unbundle all the different services from the price of the products; The contract must consider gasoline and diesel acquisition or delivery without being forced to hire any other service such as transportation, custody or storage; Unilateral and earl termination of supply contracts without penalties will be allowed if notified to PEMEX with 30 days of anticipation. Supply and franchise contracts shall be unbundled. 13

46 New subsidiaries of PEMEX Pemex Exploración y Producción (E&P activities) Pemex Perforación y Servicios (Drilling and services) Pemex Cogeneración y Servicios (Cogeneration and Services) Pemex Etileno (Ethilene) Pemex Fertilizantes (Fertilizer) Pemex Logística (transportation and storage logistics) Pemex Transformación Industrial (Refining, transformation, processing and commercialization of hydrocarbons) 14

47 ASEA ASEA will regulate and approve from the industrial safety and environmental perspective all projects from exploration and production to gas processing and refineries, to pipelines, storage terminals and retail businesses. The main activities in charge of ASEA are the following: (i) risk assessment and analysis, (ii) preventive and mitigation measures, (iii) applicable and adequate industrial safety standards for the particular activity, (iv) activities and process control, (v) industrial safety and environmental protection training programs, (vi) document control proceedings, and (vii) internal surveillance mechanisms 15

48 Permits & Authorizations CRE SENER CNH Hydrocarbons Transportation (by pipeline or other means) Oil refining Well drilling Hydrocarbons torage Natural gas processing Recognition and Superficial exploration activities (ARES) Distribution Marketing Compression Descompression Liquefaction Regasification Importation Exportation Permits granted by CRE and SENER are valid for a term up to 30 years and may be extended for an additional 15 year period, except for importation and exportaion permits that are valid for 1 or 20 years. 16

49 Cross participation An entity may participate, directly or indirectly, in the corporate structure as user, producer, marketer of transportation and storage permit holders if such participation does not affect market access and competition. Any cross-participation must be authorized by the CRE and have the favorable opinion by the Federal Commission for Economic Competition (COFECE). 17

50 Cross participation Participation of one company in the corporate structure of another entity can arise in two manners, directly or indirectly. Direct participation takes place when the entity owns the membership interests or shares. Indirect participation in stock is determined by mechanisms such as those mentioned in Article 7 of the Foreign Investment Law which provide legal or effective control over a legal entity. Indirect participation can further subdivided into real or potential indirect participation. Real indirect participation refers to the effective control of the legal entity which controls any subsidiaries,and Potential indirect participation refers to the potential of exerting control despite not having any legal relationship. 18

51 Price regulation 19

52 Natural Gas Tariffs for transportation, storage and distribution are approved by the CRE. Permit holders of such activities submit for CRE s approval a business plan containing, investment commitments, efficiency factors and other considerations included in the relevant permit Regulated rates are subject to annual adjustments based on Mexico US inflation and currency exchange variations Every five years of operation, the tariff shall be reviewed by the CRE. 20

53 Gasoline and Diesel In order to transit into a liberalized market, there has been a maximum price limit on public sales of gasoline and diesel since January 1, 2015, which will be lifted on December 31, The maximum price is determined monthly by the Ministry Finance in accordance with a price band (with minimum and maximum values) that it determines annually. This band primarily takes into account product prices, taxes and guaranteed margins for retailers. 21

54 Recommendation issued by COFECE on fuels market On January, 2016, COFECE issued an opinion with recommendations to the model contracts proposed by Pemex for the supply (formerly known as first-hand sale contracts) and gasoline and diesel franchise contracts. COFECE recommended the following: Pemex shouldn t establish compulsory delivery schemes as a condition for the gasoline and diesel sale such as the transfer of fuels to service stations using Pemex s own staff and/or equipment, a condition currently stated on the model contract; Regardless of the agreed validity, contracts shall include a clause that enables the purchaser to unilaterally terminate the contract; 22

55 Recommendation issued by COFECE on fuels market The purchase of fuels from Pemex shouldn t create any exclusivity or limit sales transactions with other suppliers; Avoid the inclusion of any commercial margin linked to the service station category given that it may create exclusive market advantages in favor of Pemex franchisees Not establishing long term relations -the model contract has a validity period of 15 years- neither to hinder the ending of the business relationship; Specify that the franchise relation only involves the gasoline and diesel sale, so that the franchisee it is not constrained to commercialize other products; Under the new regime which establishes a range of maximum prices, the selling prices should be allowed to be determined by each licensed person and not by Pemex 23

56 FIBRA E Trust under Mexican law that issues certificates that are publicly traded in Mexico Backdrop of energy industry and FIBRA Income requirement: At least 90% of gross income each year must come from: oil & gas midstream and downstream (not-retail) activities; electricity generation, transmission and distribution; certain infrastructure with contracts with 7-year term or longer, FIBRA E management 24

57 Anticorruption On 2015, one of the major steps towards transparency was the Constitutional reform and the creation of a National Anticorruption System. On July 18, 2016, the new legal framework implementing the 2015 Constitutional reform on anticorruption was issued. 25

58 Anticorruption The National Anticorruption System will be responsible for the nationwide anticorruption policy and for establishing the guidelines that all levels of government (executive, legislative and judicial branches, either federal or local as well as the public officials of autonomous entities such as the Federal Economic Competition Commission, Energy Regulatory Commission, National Hydrocarbons Commission and the Central Bank) and personnel of PEMEX and CFE (except for their board members) and must follow the prevention, identification and sanctions applicable to acts of corruption and crimes committed by public officials and private parties. 26

59 Anticorruption Sanctions under the newly established anticorruption system: Reduced sanctions will be given to companies collaborating during the investigations or whistleblowing. Sanctions may increase if the partners, board of directors or internal auditor(s) are aware of the corrupt practices and do not report such conduct and the individuals involved. Private parties confessing their participation in any act of corruption may obtain a reduction of up to 70 percent of the economic sanction. 27

60 Anticorruption Other anti-corruption legislation: The Federal Anti-Corruption Law in Public Procurement establishes responsibilities and sanctions on national and foreign persons or entities for irregularities committed in federal public tenders and other contracting procedures or international commercial transactions. The Federal Law of Administrative Liabilities of Government Officials prohibits to the public officers and Commissioners of the CRE and CNH to accept gifts, payment of travel allowances and tickets, services, economic or in kind contributions as well as any other considerations of value. Agencies (i.e. CRE, CNH, ASEA) of the energy sector have their own code of conduct regulating the attendance of officers and Commisioners to public events or meetings with company representatives. 28

61 Rule of Law Although Federal Courts in administrative matters are being specialized in regulatory matters (antitrust, telecommunications and energy) there is little expertise to solve energy litigation. Waiver of sovereign inmunity defence Arbitration Governing law 29

62 Land use and Social aspects New land use and acquisition procedures have been established. Social impact assessment and indigenous consultation are new requirements to assure supportiveness of the communities for the development of energy projects. 30

63 Land use rights procedure 1. The developer shall inform in writing to the landowner its interest to use the relevant land where the missing 5% is located for the provision of the transmission service. 2. The notification mentioned above shall also inform the intent to initiate negotiations, and attach a description and explanation of the scope of the project, its benefits and possible effects; 3. The parties shall inform the SEDATU the commencement of the negotiations. 4. The consideration payable to the land owners shall cover: (a) the payment of the damages caused to any rights or assets different from the land as a result of the project; and (b) A compensation for the occupation, encumbrance, or use of the land. The agreed considerations may be paid in cash, in kind or by means of the following: (i) social programs for the benefit of the community; (ii) any other consideration that is not against the law; or, (iii) a combination of all the foregoing options. This consideration may use as basis of calculation, the criteria established by the Institute of Appraisal and Administration of National Assets (Instituto de Administración y Avalúos de Bienes Nacionales). 31

64 Land use rights procedure 5.
