The strategy has presently concluded. Yet, the two incessant major projects in the country’s overarching scheme to establish a natural gas-driven downstream mega-hub at Punta Europa to appear to be on track. The Backfill project meant to nourish gas from the Alen field to the hub is 85% inferred, while the Punta Europa modular refinery is 90% finalized, according to an MMH experiment summary. And that, phase two of a new compressed natural gas plant and a monitoring strategy for the liquefied petroleum gas sector are 60% and 50% finalized, respectively.

    participation in output disseminating pacts.

Therefore, as a thrust to improve the payment of the mining sector to GDP, the MMH has sought for transparency and reform in recent months. A new delimitation of the mining regions to be reviewed has been concluded, which should simplify the signing of new agreements with private sector performers.
