§ New legal framework for all hydrocarbon-related activities, including: – Surface and geophysical surveying – Exploration for and extraction of hydrocarbons– Refining, transportation, storage, marketing and sale of petroleum and

its products– Processing, compression, transportation, storage, distribution and

retail sales of natural gas– Transportation, storage, distribution and retail sales of liquefied

petroleum gas (LPG)– Pipeline transportation and storage of petrochemicals.

§ Two main principles affirmed governing the Mexican energy sector:– In place hydrocarbons within Mexico’s boundaries belong exclusively to

the state – That the exploration and production (E&P) of hydrocarbons are state

strategic activities

New Hydrocarbon Legal Regime in Mexico

§ Fuel marketing, buying and selling opportunities are no longer tightly controlled by government regulations and mandates.

§ New relationships between Mexican and U.S. fuel companies

§ New tax issues for imported supply from the U.S. § For those in Mexico, it’s about:

– Establishing an entirely new fuel buying strategy– Understanding new market risks– Expanding infrastructure and supply access– Structuring fuel deals with visible, third party benchmarks– Learning how to market the way that U.S. jobbers and

retailers do.

§ Crude oil production decline rate is accelerating:– Estimate for 2017 down 36% from close of

2010§ Reforms to stabilize/reverse decline in oil

production by:– Opening the sector to international oil

companies– Pursuing high-value deepwater and

unconventional resources§ Early licensing rounds have been disappointing§ Production growth will depend largely on reform

initiatives§ Finance, operational expertise and technology

needed§ Conversion to proven reserves & production will

take time

§ In 2015, Mexico was an exporter (1,370 mb/d) of crude oil and net importer (810 mb/d) of refined products:– Insufficient refining capacity (1,600 mb/d) to meet domestic

demand (1,930 mb/d) for refined products– Insufficient coking and desulfurization capacity needed for

heavy crudes– Operating below crude tower capacities (1,060 mb/d) due to

need for major repairs and upgrades§ Reforms permit foreign investment in refining particularly

for processing heavy crudes§ U.S. light sweet-for-Mexican heavy sour swaps would allow

greater refining efficiency while increasing lower-sulfur gasoline supply in Mexico.

Current State of Refining

§ June 2016: Domestic gasoline sales reached 838 mb/d, Pemex production was 345 mb/d

§ U.S imports, mostly via ships to Tuxpan or Salinas Cruz, make up most of the shortfall, additional 150 mb/d came from non-U.S. sources.

§ Proposed Tuxpan port & distribution facilities will allow gasoline to be sourced globally

§ Trading firm Novum Energy (Houston) has completed Mexico's first private import of diesel fuel from Texas

§ There are no plans to privatize State-owned, midstream assets

§ However, the midstream has faced chronic underinvestment

§ Foreign ownership may now extend or build and operate new products pipelines across the northern Mexico border

§ Inadequate transport & storage capacity has increased the risk of supply interruptions and raised the volume transported by trucks and tank cars

Current State of Transportation & Storage

§ Growing Market with Increasing Imports– GDP growth (2x) will lead to an increasing reliance on imports. – Mexico is U.S. refiners largest export market– Consumption of imports expected to increase from half to nearly 60

percent by 2020§ High Fuel-Site Volumes

– Retail fuel site count has been stagnant at 11,000 sites under PEMEX control

– Site throughputs exceed 1.3 MMgal/yr with larger markets averaging nearly 1.6 MMgal/yr

§ Pricing– Pricing reforms have been delayed or “watered down”

§ Highly Fragmented Market – Only half of PEMEX sites have convenience stores compared with 80%

in other markets– Over 5,000 franchisees operate only one or two sites with largest

operating fewer than 300 sites

Current State of Downstream

§ Foreign companies will be allowed to own fuel assets§ Companies can sell non-PEMEX branded supply § Refined product competitive rollout will be gradual § Competition to be assessed in specific markets§ Special treatment for gasoline, diesel, jet-fuel and LPG§ Automotive fuel prices will be subject to adjustment

– Domestic inflation– Regional supply access– Local competitive environment

§ The first steps of fundamental reform of the Mexican energy sector are in place

§ There are still many important issues that must be addressed to make reforms a success

§ The regulatory framework and its body of guidelines, directives, resolutions and norms is still pending which makes for uncertainty – Investors do not like uncertainty

§ But the biggest challenge to attracting foreign investment capital in the Upstream is the current price of crude

§ $40-$50/bbl Crude makes it difficult to get an adequate ROI so the government will have to make deals more attractive

§ Start with lower risk projects

§ Risks– Regulations are not clear yet – Pricing controls arbitrary in timing and market application

§ Options exist for participation – Full ownership and operation of assets within key segments of

the supply-chain– Partnerships and joint ventures– Brand-based sales agreements.

§ New fuel sites, consolidation, and consumer concepts§ Reliable fuel supply is essential to relationships if not PEMEX

– Establishing branded supply agreements and partnerships with retailers

– Leveraging existing retail fuel brands with local retailers.– Leverage consumer choice with new sites and new offers

§ American Petroleum Institute (API) President and CEO Jack Gerard said President Trump is making good on his campaign promise to create jobs and strengthen America’s economy by removing roadblocks to our nation’s energy renaissance.

§ In the first 100 days, the administration has issued five executive orders, signed six memorandums and four Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions, supporting U.S. energy development, production and refining. Additionally, agencies—including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Interior (DOI)—have issued a number of secretarial orders, implementing the administration’s new focus on energy.

§ “President Trump issued executive orders and presidential memorandums that put the Keystone XL pipeline back on track; allowed the Dakota Access Pipeline to be completed; opened access to additional federal areas for responsible energy development; and removed duplicative regulations that hinder energy production without achieving the desired environmental, economic or consumer benefit.

§ “We are pleased to see this administration prioritizing responsible U.S. energy development and recognizing the benefits it will bring to American consumers and businesses,” said API CEO Jack Gerard.

§ “We must particularly look to and embrace the future development of domestic sources of oil and natural gas in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.

§ The eastern Gulf is in close proximity to existing production and infrastructure, and opening it would most quickly spur investment and economic activity, which could create thousands of jobs and provide billions of dollars in government revenue.

§ ALEXANDRIA, VA – Low gas prices are driving increases in convenience store sales both at the pump and inside the store, according to the results of a survey of convenience retailers released by the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS).

§ Retailers cited a number of reasons for their optimism. “Lower gas prices allow people to have more money to spend in our stores,” said Jamy Flory with Flory’s Corp. (Fishkill, NY).

§ Mickey Jamal with CPD Energy (New Paltz, NY) agreed, adding that the industry’s increased focus on quality foodservice programs is helping to increase sales.

§ Concerns over the Political ClimateDespite the positive news, retailers raised one major concern that could dampen sales: the political climate.

§ Tuesday's order initiates a review of the Clean Power Plan, rescinds the moratorium on coal mining on US federal lands and urges federal agencies to "identify all regulations, all rules, all policies ... that serve as obstacles and impediments to American energy independence," the official said.
