1.- Hydrocarbons law

9.- Law of the Mexican oil fund for stabilization and development


This is how with issuance of this secondary laws in the hydrocarbon industry, the business model is modified in at least 3 aspects:

2) The basic petrochemicals as a strategic area is no longer a monopoly area, allowing the particulars to participate through the issuance of permits in the subsequent extraction activities (Transportation of crude oil, natural gas and liquids, etc.)
3) Restructuring of Pemex, as in the areas of transparency and accountability, and divides its subsidiaries in the division of Industrial Transformation and the Exploration and Production division.
