On March 21, the National Hydrocarbons Commission of Mexico (CNH) hosted on the Meeting of Regulatory Agencies and Ministries on energy matters, within the framework of the "Energy Opportunities" conference series of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG).

ARPEL was specially invited to participate in this technical meeting, which was intended only for Regulatory Agencies, Ministries and Associations, in order to exchange ideas and experiences on current trends in the hydrocarbon sector, best practices and lessons learned in each country.
