comprehensive or incentive contracts, which allow private sector participation in exploration, development and production of oil and gas, contain protective clauses in favor of multinationals to avoid being sued, in addition to the grant is 25 years and may be renewed for another 25 without bidding, said the National Committee for Energy Studies (CNEE).
The NGO noted that incentive contracts are full or the final thrust that is intended to apply to Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) to become an administrator only contracts.
explained that the terms are also defined that even in case of inefficiency or neglect of the contractor is reimbursed the costs included in operating expenses (70 percent of the costs are paid by Pemex and the remaining 30 percent private company).
The CNEE, composed of former lawmakers, academics and workers in the sector, warned, however, while the Mexican Constitution will prevail without change, everything is made to deliver the oil fields to private companies is unfair.
Galicia Mario Yepes, who shares the CNEE collegial coordination with Francisco Carrillo Soberón Alfredo Hernandez-Peñalosa and referred to the endorsement of the Supreme Court's Office to implement such contracts, and clarified that the only constitutionally acceptable is the power of board to fix the hiring, but in any case it will allowing foreigners to develop the functions and activities that Pemex has sole responsibility, and less to be delivered oil fields or territories for exploration and exploitation.
recalled that since the early nineties governments decided to shift the eviction of Pemex by using their considerable income as a source of financial resources to withstand the impacts of recurrent capitalist crisis and to support the failed neoliberal model imposed on Mexico.
Consequently, from that decade were canceled investment in exploration and processing of hydrocarbons and spent only the minimum necessary for Pemex to continue producing oil and operating its processing plants. Petrochemicals were reclassified, creating the high school name in order to legalize the private participation in the petrochemical complexes.
same has been made over more than four decades with the refinery, which stalled, preventing the construction of refineries needed to satisfy domestic demand for gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and a wide range of petroleum products. To this was added delivery to foreign companies exploiting gas in the Burgos basin.
The CNEE warned: "The climax of the infamous destruction of productive forces for the benefit and privilege of foreign interests is the next installment of mature and marginal fields, a term which, like the invented 'secondary petrochemicals' is used to disparage their strategic importance and minimize the unconstitutional act of starting to get used to the participation of individuals in the activities of exploration and production of hydrocarbons, designated as the exclusive activities nation, which was formed Pemex. "
said: We in the National Committee for the Study of Energy requested the trade unions, social and political progress, including the National Regeneration Movement leads Andrés Manuel López Obrador, to unify and organize to deploy a new phase of movement Defense National Petroleum and Energy.
is urgent, they said, especially because they are about to start bidding for the so-called incentive contracts, which are the thrust at Pemex, Tabasco first, and from there to other oil fields, including shallow and deep water.
