En este artículo se analiza de manera empírica la política mexicana en materia de extracción de petróleo, gas natural y otros minerales para discernir su naturaleza y alcance. Se concluye que el aprovechamiento de estos recursos se inscribe en un esquema extractivista que beneficia primordialmente a las empresas del ramo y se aleja del neoextractivismo practicado por gobiernos progresistas en América Latina. Asimismo, se señala que el extractivismo petrolero se ha potenciado con la liberalización de 2013–2014. En este marco, la degradación ambiental, las tensiones sociales y el agotamiento prematuro del patrimonio geológico son considerados como males menores de un progreso irrenunciable. Taking an empirical approach, this article analyzes policies in Mexico concerned with the extraction of petroleum, natural gas and other minerals to establish their nature and reach. It concludes that the exploitation of these resources falls into an extractivist framework that primarily benefits the businesses of this industry and has moved away from neoextractivism as carried out by progressive governments in Latin America. Therefore, this article demonstrates that petroleum extractivism has been strengthened with the liberalization of 2013–14. In this framework environmental degradation, social tensions and the premature depletion of geological assets are considered lesser evils of unavoidable progress.

This chapter examines the changes in Qatar’s energy sector that began prior to the blockade, when the key decision to lift a moratorium on new gas exploration in the North Field was taken, and accelerated in December 2018 with the Qatari withdrawal from OPEC and its decision to prioritize the further expansion of its natural gas reserves. The chapter places energy within the context of the blockade, and analyzes why Qatari policymakers ringfenced the Dolphin pipeline to the UAE and Oman from the rupture in political and economic relations, a move that reinforced the post-blockade effort to portray Qatar as a reliable, rule-of-law partner and responsible member of the international community. The chapter ends with a section that explores how Qatari ‘energy diplomacy’ has evolved since 2017 as Qatar Petroleum entered into a plethora of joint ventures with international partners in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

This study provides an overview of 25 Upstream attributes of the Brazilian oil and natural gas sector and of the country itself, identifying from the industry stakeholders’ perspective the strengths and weaknesses that were aggregated with the support of SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) in four factorials: Trade, Regulatory, Prospectivity and Business Environment. The four field surveys which totalled 1,143 structured face-to-face interviews were conducted during the 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018 editions of Rio Oil & Gas, the largest trade fair of the industry in Latin America. The methodology used - based on established international research, competitive determinants related to industry and market structures, and traditional variables to assess the attractiveness of the segment - seems to have been consistent with the intended objective to elucidate issues to statistically confirm current opinions and to bring original information.
