VOICED : Exitosa licitacion de campos petroleros mexicanos

Mexico successfully auctioned 25 land fields for hydrocarbon extraction, marking a significant achievement despite challenges from drug cartels and fuel theft. These fields have previously produced hydrocarbons, and the new contracts are expected to yield 77,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. This marks the first production since the sector's opening after 80 years of state monopoly. Companies from Mexico, the Netherlands, Canada, and the USA secured contracts, highlighting the competitive nature of the bidding process. Notably, Carlos Slim, the world's richest man, lost out due to conservative bids.
