Lifting Mexico's Oil & Gas PotentialEnergy reform in any country with a National Oil Company (NOC) should include these goals:

  1. Lift the career potential of oil professionals.
  2. Devise an oil regime with these characteristics:
    • Offers its NOC the opportunity to operate outside of its home country, in equity associations with top-tier IOCs;
    • Offers IOCs investment opportunities with materiality, transparency and legal and fiscal stability;
    • Captures the direct and indirect benefits to the local and national economies, infrastructure, and regulatory and educational institutions.
    • Promotes company formation, technology transfer and R&D; and
    • Strengthens energy security.

Many of these topics were touched upon in the presentation by George Baker at the opening session of the BN Americas Oil & Gas Conference, which was held in Houston September 11-12, 2013.
