HOUSTON: OTC 2014 — At a $50 breakfast this morning, PEP’s Acting Director, Gustavo Hernandez, informed an industry audience of 350 that considerations of national security would require that some technical data should remain with Pemex.

Such an argument could represent the camel’s nose under the tent on the upstream energy reform.

One slide had the term Data Bunker, suggestive of a military fortification.

So far as we know, the energy legislation provides no role for Pemex in relation to “national security”; if so, Pemex’s argument is a challenge—not to say “threat”—to the CNH.
