Análisis de Experiencias Internacionales en el Manejo de la Renta Petrolera; Los casos de México, Noruega y Brasil.

Abstract

Today hydrocarbons still remain as a vital resource for economic and social development of any country. They can provide a lot of profits from its production. The sales of petroleum products less cost of production are named “Oil rent”. In recent years Mexico has seen a steady reduction in oil reserves; these have been reduced substantially primarily due to lack of resources for investment in oil projects, which means a possible drop in oil rent in the future, with the consequences of an oil dependent economy. Therefore, the research presented here aims to point out the flaws that exist in the Mexican oil model to invest in exploration projects and thereby maximize oil rent. For this, it is analyzed other countries, Norway and Brazil and its oil models. We attempt to propose solutions to improve Mexico's oil industry and together to maximize oil revenues. This document is organized in three parts: The first gives the current status of the study countries: Norway and Brazil, as these countries have been successful in strengthening its oil industry and therefore in maximizing oil revenues ; Continuing with the problem that currently exists in the Mexican oil industry, and finally we make proposals for the building industry national oil and optimization of oil revenues for the benefit of society.
