For the foregoing, it must prove that it has the technical, financial and execution capacities necessary to explore and extract the hydrocarbons in an efficient and competitive manner. The application shall be submitted within the ninety calendar days following the entry into force of this Decree.

The Ministry in charge of Energy matters shall review the application, with the technical assistance of the National Hydrocarbons Commission, and shall issue the corresponding resolution within the term of one hundred eighty calendar days following the date of the application of Mexican Petroleum, establishing therein the surface, depth and term of validity of the assignments that proceed. The foregoing taking into account, among others, the following aspects:

a)For hydrocarbon exploration assignments: in the areas in which, as of the date of entry into force of this Decree, Mexican Petroleum has made commercial discoveries or investments in exploration, it shall be possible that, based on its investment capacity and subject to a clearly established plan of exploration of each assigned area, it continues with the works within a term of three years, extendable for a maximum period of two years depending on the technical characteristics of the field in question and on the compliance with said exploration plan, and in case of success, that it continues with the extraction activities. If the exploration plan is not complied with, the area in question shall revert to the State.

b)For hydrocarbon extraction assignments: Mexican Petroleum shall maintain its rights in each one of the fields that are in production as of the date of entry into force of this Decree. It shall submit a development plan of said fields that includes descriptions of the works and investments to be carried out, justifying their adequate use and an efficient and competitive production.

For the determination of the characteristics established in each hydrocarbon extraction assignment, the coexistence of different fields in a given area shall be considered. Based on the foregoing, the specific depth for each assignment may be established, so that the extractive activities may be carried out, separately, in those fields that are located in the same area but at a different depth, in order to maximize the development of prospective resources for the benefit of the Nation.

In case that, as a result of the process of award of assignments to carry out the activities of exploration and extraction of petroleum and of solid, liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons mentioned in this transitory provision, investments of Mexican Petroleum were to be affected, these shall be recognized at their fair economic value in the terms that for such purpose the Ministry in charge of Energy matters provides. The State may determine a consideration when making an assignment. The assignments may not be transferred without approval of the Ministry in charge of Energy matters.

Mexican Petroleum may propose to the Ministry in charge of Energy matters, for its authorization, the migration of the assignments that are awarded to it to the contracts referred to in article 27, seventh paragraph, of this Constitution. For this, the Ministry in charge of Energy matters shall have the technical assistance of the National Hydrocarbons Commission.

In the migration of the assignments to contracts, when Mexican Petroleum chooses to contract with private parties, in order to determine the private contractor, the National Hydrocarbons Commission shall carry out the bidding in the terms that the law provides. The law shall provide, at least, that the Ministry in charge of Energy matters establishes the technical and contractual guidelines, and that the Ministry in charge of Finance matters shall be in charge of establishing the fiscal conditions. In these cases, the administration of the contract shall be subject to the same authorities and control mechanisms that shall apply to the contracts entered into by the State.

Seventh. In order to promote the participation of national and local productive chains, the law shall establish, within the term provided in the fourth transitory provision, the bases and the minimum percentages of national content in the supply for the execution of the assignments and contracts referred to in this Decree.

The law shall establish mechanisms to promote the national industry in the matters of this Decree.

Eighth. Derived from its strategic character, the activities of exploration and extraction of petroleum and of the other hydrocarbons, as well as the public service of transmission and distribution of electric energy, referred to in this Decree are considered of social interest and public order, for which reason they shall have preference over any other that implies the use of the surface and of the subsoil of the lands affected by those.

The law shall provide the terms and the general conditions of the consideration that shall be paid for the occupation or surface affectation or, as the case may be, the respective compensation (indemnity).

The titles of mining concessions that are in force at the entry into force of this Decree and those that are granted subsequently shall not confer rights for the exploration and extraction of petroleum and the other solid, liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons, without prejudice to the rights provided in their own concessions. The concessionaires shall allow the carrying out of these activities.

The law shall provide, when it is technically possible, mechanisms to facilitate the coexistence of the activities mentioned in this transitory provision with others that the State or the private parties carry out.

Ninth. Within the term provided in the fourth transitory provision of this Decree, the Congress of the Union shall make the adjustments to the legal framework, in order to establish that the contracts and the assignments that the State enters into with productive enterprises of the State or with private parties to carry out, on behalf of the Nation, the activities of exploration and extraction of petroleum and of solid, liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons, shall be granted through mechanisms that guarantee the maximum transparency, for which reason it shall be provided that the bases and rules of the procedures that are established for such purpose shall be duly disseminated and publicly consultable.

Likewise, the law shall provide and regulate:
