Тема: Mexico passes bill opening oil to outsiders Вт Дек 17, 2013 1:01 am
Under the new measure, Mexico retains ownership of its oil and gas but lets private companies drill for it on their own or with state monopoly Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, in exchange for sharing the profits.
The changes would open Mexico's estimated 115 billion barrels in reserves and 27 billion barrels of deep sea crude to oil giants such as ExxonMobil Corp., Chevron Corp., ConocoPhillips Co., BP PLC, Royal Dutch Shell PLC and France's Total SA.
Oil production in Mexico has dropped to 2.5 million barrels a day from 3.4 million barrels in 2004.
Foreign companies will also be allowed to open up gasoline stations, something long barred.
