BACKGROUND: Mexico’s historic decision to deregulate the nation’s oil and gas industry will allow private companies to undertake projects in Mexico.
The University of Texas at Austin and the Greater Houston Partnership will be hosting Mexico’s round one executive and technical presentations on oil and gas areas and fields that will be tendered to private companies in 2015.
The round one tender will offer 169 exploration and production blocks and cover a total of 28,500 square kilometers with a potential of more than 18 billion barrels of oil equivalent in cumulative prospective resources, and proven and probable reserves.
Round one will offer foreign and private oil companies the rights to bid on acreage in the Perdido and south Gulf of Mexico deep water areas, onshore Chicontepec Basin, unconventional fields, shallow water and heavy oil fields.

Hi.
I would like to know if there is still availability for private parties to attend these sessions. I am an associate of Woodhouse Lorente Ludlow, S.C., a Mexican law firm specialized in providing legal counsel, and we are deeply interested in attending this event.
I appreciate your attention and look forward to your response.
