Mexico’s Energy Sector is not only a topic for analysis and reporting; it is also a global community of people from several dozen countries who have a professional interest in staying informed about current developments and underlying issues related to commerce, investment, law and regulation. It is therefore as important to meet people, and exchange ideas, impressions and concerns, as it is to study data and prepare reports.
We offer briefings on upstream, midstream, downstream and regulatory topics. Briefings are customized to respond to the special concerns of clients, and usually involve a mix of managers and analysts. Briefings can be scheduled for 1‐3 hours.
The firm has sponsored, or co‐sponsored, several industry events. In early 2003, the firm co‐ sponsored a seminar in Houston with IHS on the new Multiple Service Contracts (prompting Pemex to name its roll‐out conference, held several months later, the first “official” conference on the MSC’s). In 1997, the firm held a training workshop in Houston for Mexico energy analysts. Years later, in 2008, one person who attended that workshop would become the upstream country representative for a major IOC.
The workshop on Advanced English Pronunciation has been given to Pemex audiences in Villahermosa and Poza Rica, and to analysts and managers at CNH and CRE in Mexico City. Workshops are planned for the Houston area.
