On the
evening of August 26, Mexico consortium in Shanghai held a celebration,
celebration in Gulf of Mexico world first gas compression self elevating
platform "Agosto of 12" formal operation. Which is a major
contributor to the platform construction project contractor -- Yantai CIMC
offshore Co. Ltd.
The project
cost $2.3 billion, by CIMC Raffles lasted 2 years time to complete, after the
platform runs day compression over 2 billion cubic feet of gas. This is the
first time in the field of energy in Mexico directly with Chinese enterprises,
but also one of the fruits of Mexico energy reform.
In recent
years, the Mexico government's efforts to promote energy reform has broken the
monopoly of Mexico's national oil company, which makes it possible for private
enterprises to participate in oil exploration and exploitation through public
bidding. In August 2013, 4 Mexico companies, including TRESE, were jointly
awarded the 500000000 years of the Bay (Cantarell) field in the Gulf of Mexico,
with more than $8, and received investment from Malaysia Contracts Coastal.
At the same time,
the new "foreign investment law", which is involved in the reform of
Mexico energy, also abolished the existing restrictive provisions on foreign
investment in the oil and gas sector. And the past through Malaysia or
Singapore companies to contract to Chinese enterprises, the construction of the
Agosto 12 platform is the first time TRESE company directly to the Chinese
enterprises.
Why is
contracted to CIMC
"Many
countries believe that the quality of China's production is not good, it is
wrong." Mexico TRESE CEO Silva (Ricardo A. Silva told the "First
Financial Daily" reporter, they and Malaysia coastal whereby companies
according to the internal assessment, final choice in China Yantai CIMC
Raffles. The main reasons are the three points.
First, in
quality and production in the process of being attentive to details of the
evaluation, as China's marine engineering equipment industry leading
enterprises, CIMC Raffles can provide high quality and safety products.
Second,
China has obvious advantages in price competition. According to Silva said,
"compared to the shipyards and other Asian countries, the price of CIMC
10% cheaper to 15%, compared with those in the United States, cheap more than
25%";
Third,
Chinese enterprises in the financial and financial aspects of a certain
support. CIMC raffles, vice president of Liu Yanjia on the "First
Financial Daily" said that CIMC allowed Mexican companies to pay part of
the deposit, and then completed and then pay the complete models.
Don't expect
to be profitable in the short term.
As our
country of deepwater semi submersible drilling platform batch package have the
ability to build marine engineering equipment companies, CIMC Raffles has
delivered 6 a deepwater semi submersible drilling platform.
Liu Yanjia
said the company and Brazil, the United States, Norway and other countries have
cooperation, and this is the first time to get the Mexico energy company's
orders for the first time. As oil prices continued to decline, shrinking orders
at least half CIMC raffles. This $230000000 from Mexico contributed 20% of the
total output value of the year, and to create about 1000 jobs in the local.
Silva
believes that in the global oil prices and other economic crisis, there must be
a dangerous and organic. For Chinese enterprises, the Mexico energy field
gradually open to foreign investment policy is one of the opportunities. In
addition, due to the special geographical location, Mexico is also the Chinese
enterprises to enter the north and South American market springboard. Of
course, due to the policy of Mexico is still in the adjustment and improvement,
it is inevitable that there will be a number of factors affecting the interests
of the parties.
In addition,
Silva suggested, the rate of investment in Mexico to find a reliable local
partner. "Don't trust anyone or a company that will help you solve all the
problems. In the process of investment, always will continue to encounter risks
and therefore need to constantly adjust and control." He also said that
the newspaper, now expect the 2 to 3 years to recover the cost of investment
opportunities are not many, the Chinese investors to do a good job in the
long-term investment."
