Three companies are bidding for a pipeline project to supply natural gas to power plants in northwestern Mexico.

Two of three oil and natural gas exploration and production (E&P) farmouts on offer with Mexico’s Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) were snapped up Wednesday in an auction organized by upstream regulator, the National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH).

Natural gas trading volumes reported to the Mexican energy regulator in August more than doubled over the previous month.

Mexico’s upstream hydrocarbons regulator on Thursday authorized a new auction for shallow water natural gas and oil exploration and production (E&P) leases, while also dropping a block from its ongoing deepwater round.

Mexican officials will push for President Enrique Peña Nieto’s energy reform to the very last day of his administration in 2018, Energy Secretary Pedro Joaquin Coldwell said Monday.

Mexico’s National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) has approved the final list of participants in three farmout auctions scheduled for next week.

In a pair of meetings held in recent days officials from Texas, Mexico and representatives of several energy companies discussed oil and natural gas trade across the international border.

Mexican regulator Comision Reguladora de Energia (CRE) suspended reporting requirements for energy market participants for the rest of week, as a result ofthe earthquake that hit central Mexico on Tuesday afternoon.

Exactly 32 years after a massive earthquake took 10,000 lives in Mexico City, yet another fierce tremor hit the center of the nation on Tuesday, killing more than 200 people but having little effect on energy infrastructure outside of power outages.
