Objective: To detect the factors which affect competitiveness of the hydrocarbon sector from the study context. In order to generate a proposal for the improvement of that sector. Methodology. Through working with experts, it is possible to interrelate information that allows visualizing in a global way the study problem. This is achieved through the study of the context variables (six), with support from the structural analysis scheme that will generate the four potential areas where the conflict zone, power zone, zone of autonomous problems and exit zone are located, allowing the clear detection of the incident factors. Results. Given the previous scheme and with an in-depth analysis, we propose a model that generates the strengthening of the key factors (power zone), also we search for a way to stabilize the factors of the zone of conflict; all this will consolidate the work of the type of organizations studied, enabling them to be competitive in a globalized environment.
