Exclusive: Mexico’s new government may halt oil auctions indefinitely – document

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico’s incoming government is considering indefinitely suspending auctions for oil and gas projects as well as giving state-owned Pemex the authority to pick its own joint-venture partners rather than holding competitive tenders, according to policy guidelines seen by Reuters.

The document, drafted by energy advisers to leftist President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, also recommends forging closer ties with leading oil producer cartel OPEC while withdrawing from the International Energy Agency (IEA), which represents the interest of oil-consuming countries.
