Petroleum Exhibition & Conference of Mexico Forum
November 17-19, 2009
Parque Tabasco
Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico 


The Petroleum Exhibition and Conference of Mexico (PECOM) has been Mexico's premier oil and gas show for 15 years, attracting decision makers and executives from the energy industry from around the world and hosting audiences that rank in the thousands.

Villahermosa, the oil capital of Mexico, will once again host one of the world's most important oil industry events. Between November 17-19, more than 5,000 visitors are expected to attend this event. In addition, many major international operating companies will be exhibiting in 2009. Participants in this year's event include more than 250 companies from 16 countries.

With the recent success of the 2008 event, the 2009 edition of PECOM is the ideal venue to new-to-market firms interested in participating in Mexico's offshore and onshore gas development program as well as those seeking to promote their technologies and services to potential end users and contractors.

 The energy industry remains a pillar of the Mexican economy and is more important than ever to the future of the country. The Petroleum Exhibition and Conference of Mexico continues to benefit from the support of PEMEX, and the Instituto Mexicano del Petroleo (IMP). The conference theme for 2009 is Transformation through Innovation.

The best prospects for firms seeking business in Mexico include: drilling of work-over-rigs, to be used in the exploration, discovery, development, maintenance, testing, depletion or production of oil and natural gas wells; pipe; valves; pumps; electrical apparatus for switching; insulated wire cable; electric capacitors, board panels; electric transformers; electric motors and generators; turbines, solar panels, electric poles, hydroelectric plants equipment, static converters; and rotary converters.

Opportunities In 2008 based in the National Infrastructure Program, Pemex, CFE and Luz y Fuerza contemplate to carry out through domestic and international tenders for drilling of new wells in Cantarell, State of Campeche; Chicontepec, State of Veracruz; Burgos, (State of Tamualipas); Ku-Maloop Zaap, and the construction of more than 8,000 kilometers of oil and gas pipe lines, the modernization of the Salina Cruz Refinery; construction of the Manzanillo LNG plant; deep water exploration services contracts; mini-hydraulic projects in the South of Mexico; wind to energy projects and geothermal; etc. In 2009 PEMEX plans to publish international tenders for 30 wells in the Cantarell area; 500 wells in the Chicontepec area; 300 in the Burgos area; 40 wells in the Ku-Maloob-Zaap area; a new marine terminal in Tuxpan (State of Veracruz); construction of 10 new plants for clean oil refined products, etc.

The largest investment in Mexico's NIP will be for the further development of Mexico's capacity for oil and gas production. As a major source of revenue to the Mexican government, Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), the state owned petroleum producer, expects to invest in exploration, refining, and production (basic petrochemicals, gas, and more complex petrochemicals). More than US$76 billion is earmarked for these projects and over half of the projects have planned start dates between 2009 and 2011.

 The major short term opportunities for companies in the oil and gas sector will be in providing drilling and exploration services to PEMEX. Because of the extensive activities of U.S. companies in the neighboring Gulf of Mexico, they should have a strong competitive advantage with respect to both technology and logistics. International companies should thus be very competitive in supplying drilling platforms and services and especially with supplying services related to direct and enhanced oil recovery technologies. Likewise, U.S. companies excel in a number of areas that are critical to enhancing oil recovery, including technologies for drilling unconventional wells, technologies for secondary and EOR processes, and technology for monitoring, controlling and automation of wells and facilities.

The Petroleum Exhibition and Conference of Mexico is organized by International Exhibitions, Inc., which also organizes the Latin American Petroleum Show, Deepwater Intervention Forum and the Drilling and Completing Trouble Zones forum.
