More than seven months since implementing legislation was enacted, Mexican energy officials are optimistic about the promise of the country’s historic energy reforms. The reforms hold exciting promise, but questions about the pace, implementation, and contracting have arisen. With Mexico offering the first oil blocks to domestic and foreign investors in eighty years, will oil and gas companies line up as expected? Is Mexico ready to become a first-in-class investment destination for the energy industry? What are the effects of the low oil prices?

Join us for a conversation with top officials implementing the reform. They will chart the progress made to date in implementing the reforms, offer a real-time update on the regulatory infrastructure, and explain the regulations to provide for energy sector transparency.
