In this regard, on December 11, 2014, the National Oil and Gas Commission (Comisión Nacional de Hidrocarburos) ("CNH") issued the rules for the first bid of 14 contractual areas of Round One.

Round One is the procedure through which the CNH will offer to the private sector 169 areas for engaging in oil and gas extraction and exploration projects in deep waters, in shallow waters and for unconventional resources.
