National Hydrocarbons Commission

National Hydrocarbons Commission is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand National Hydrocarbons Commission rather than just read about it. In short: The National Hydrocarbons Commission (Spanish: Comision Nacional de Hidrocarburos) (CNH) was an agency of the Mexican Federal government. CNH was responsible for gathering and maintaining information on oil and gas exploration, operating research projects on hydrocarbons, and regulating the prospecting and exploration of hydrocarbons.

Key takeaways

National Hydrocarbons Commission belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect National Hydrocarbons Commission to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of National Hydrocarbons Commission from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The National Hydrocarbons Commission (Spanish: Comision Nacional de Hidrocarburos) (CNH) was an agency of the Mexican Federal government. CNH was responsible for gathering and maintaining information on oil and gas exploration, operating research projects on hydrocarbons, and regulating the prospecting and exploration of hydrocarbons. CNH were run by the Board of Commissioners, composed of seven members. The President of Mexico nominates three candidates and the Senate of the Republic designates one.

History On April 8, 2008, the Executive government presented a series of reforms to Article 27 of the Constitution of Mexico and to secondary laws regulation the oil sector in Mexico. One proposal was the creation of CNH to insure "that the exploration and extraction are carried maximizing oil rents in the extraction of crude oil and natural gas." The amendment was approved in October 2008, CNH was formally installed on May 20, 2009, when Felipe Calderon appointed the five members of the commissioners. This first Board of Commissioners were Juan Carlos Zepeda Molina, Edgar Rene Rangel Germán, Javier Humberto Estrada Estrada, Guillermo Cruz Dominguez Vargas and Eduardo Alfredo Guzman. The first was appointed as commissioner in May presidente. The Reform Proposals of the government of Enrique Peña Nieto on energy carried out under the so-called Pact for Mexico, whose goals include reforming the functions of the CNH to give greater strength and give authority to sign contracts and tenders in energy. Also given powers of supervision and promotion of hydrocarbon activities . In early April 2014 the drafting of the amendments to articles 25, 27 and 28 of the Constitution and the Law on the National Commission of Hydrocarbons you were finished and were waiting to be approved by both Cámaras. On April 29, 2014, Juan Carlos Zepeda Molina was reelected as president of the commission for a period of 5 years.

Organization The current composition of Board of Commissioners is:

Juan Carlos Zepeda Molina, President Commissioner Alma América Porres Luna, Commissioner Néstor Martínez Romero, Commissioner Héctor Alberto Acosta Félix, Commissioner Sergio Pimentel Vargas, Commissioner Héctor Moreira Rodríguez, Commissioner Gaspar Franco Hernández, Commissioner

Regulatory highlights Technical Provisions to Avoid or Reduce Flaring and Venting of Gas in the Exploration and Exploitation of Hydrocarbons Technical Guidelines for Designing Hydrocarbon Exploration and Exploitation Projects and their Evaluation Guidelines Regulating the Ruling Process for the Approval of Evaluation and Quantification Reports of Hydrocarbon Reserves Developed by Petróleos Mexicanos and the Approval of the Final Reports of the Certifications Completed by Independent Third Parties First Technical Paper of Oil and Gas Recovery Factors First Review of the Tertiary Gulf Oil Project

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with National Hydrocarbons Commission

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what National Hydrocarbons Commission claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to National Hydrocarbons Commission before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about National Hydrocarbons Commission ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of National Hydrocarbons Commission

In research: National Hydrocarbons Commission appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses National Hydrocarbons Commission in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: National Hydrocarbons Commission is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Energy in Mexico, Energy regulatory authorities, Government agencies of Mexico, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for National Hydrocarbons Commission outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
