Mexico's Senate approved all seven bills to allow state-owned Petroleos Mexicanos to hire private companies to explore for oil under a plan proposed by President Felipe Calderon.
The lower house of Congress plans to vote on the measures on Oct. 28, Emilio Gamboa Patron, leader for the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party in the chamber, said in a statement.
Senators met at an alternate site to debate and vote on the bills after supporters of former presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador blocked the entrance to the Senate building.
