The 2013 Energy Reform and CNH On December 20 th, 2013 the President enacted the amendments to the Mexican Constitution in order to allow private national or international companies to participate in the oil industry. The amendments are related to Articles 25, 27 and 28 of the Constitution.

Transitory IV. Type of Contracts. Mexico can offer four types of contracts: a. Services contracts b. Profit Sharing Contracts c. Production Sharing Contracts d. License Contracts www.cnh.gob.mx 12
Transitory V. Booking of Reserves. Companies that subscribe a contract with Mexico may report for accounting and financial purposes the corresponding contract and its expected benefits. However, it has to be stated that petroleum and all solid, liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons in the underground are property of the Nation. www.cnh.gob.mx 13
Transitory VI. Round Zero Within a period of 90 days, PEMEX must submit for the consideration of the Ministry of Energy the adjudication, through assignments, of the areas in exploration and the fields in production that is able to operate. For this, it must prove it has the technical, financial and execution ability to explore and extract hydrocarbons in an efficient and competitive way. www.cnh.gob.mx 14
Transitory X.

Also, it will be responsible for the bidding processes, assignment of winners and subscription of contracts for the activities of exploration and extraction of solid, liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. It will be in charge for technical administration of assignments and contracts; the supervision of extraction plans that maximize productivity in the field, and the regulation for exploration and production. www.cnh.gob.mx 15
Transitory XII. CNH Legal Nature Mexican Congress will adapt the legal framework, so CNH will become a coordinated energy regulatory body, with legal personality, and technical and management autonomy. It also established the creation of the National Center of Hydrocarbons Information under CNH. www.cnh.gob.mx 16
Transitory XIII. Removal and reappointment of Commissioners The Commissioners of CNH can only be removed from their positions for serious causes stipulated for that effect; they can be newly designated one time for a second period. The current Commissioners will complete the periods for which they were appointed. To appoint new Commissioners, the President will submit three candidates for consideration by the Senate. www.cnh.gob.mx 17
