US <\/strong>sanctions<\/a><\/strong> on Russia\u2019s two biggest oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil<\/strong> took over headlines last week, but not without raising concern over what it means for local production, as both companies hold stakes in some of the country\u2019s biggest wells.<\/p>\n

(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

Russian state-owned Rosneft <\/strong>owns 30%<\/a><\/strong> of the Zohr field in the Mediterranean.<\/strong> Zohr \u2014 operated by Italy\u2019s Eni through a 50% stake \u2014 is the country\u2019s largest natural gas field and a critical pillar of its domestic energy supply. <\/p>\n

And in the desert:<\/strong> Lukoil, Russia\u2019s second-largest oil producer, has also built a notable presence in Egypt\u2019s oil fields<\/a>, through a 24% interest in the Meleiha oil concession in the Western Desert, with Eni as operator holding the remaining 76%. And in the Eastern Desert, Lukoil operates the West Esh El Mallaha concession near Hurghada through a 50-50 partnership with state-owned EGPC. An adjacent block, WEEM Extension, is split equally between Lukoil and Tharwa Petroleum, with Lukoil as operator.<\/p>\n

Washington went for full-blocking sanctions: <\/strong>Last week, the US Treasury\u2019s Office of Foreign<\/a>Assets Control<\/a> (OFAC) added Rosneft, Lukoil, and dozens of their subsidiaries to the Specially Designated Nationals<\/a> (SDN) blacklist as fully blocked parties, freezing any of their property or interests under US jurisdiction and barring US personnel from transacting with them or with entities they control at 50% or more. <\/p>\n

The real choke point is secondary sanctions risk:<\/strong> Any bank that wants to keep access to the US financial system will think twice before touching Rosneft- or Lukoil-linked flows, AP<\/a> reported. <\/p>\n

Egypt is no exception:<\/strong> Banks will likely refuse to clear payments where the sanctioned Russian firms are in the chain to avoid losing USD market access. Even though Egypt is not legally bound by US law, most cross-border transactions ultimately transits a US-linked banking corridor. <\/p>\n

To avoid immediate chaos<\/strong>, OFAC issued short-term \u201cwind-down\u201d general licenses that provide narrow windows to unpack existing arrangements. By late November companies globally are expected to have ceased or paused any dealings with Rosneft and Lukoil, or risk violations. <\/p>\n

Could sanctions affect production?<\/strong> Eni has \u201cvery limited interaction\u201d with the sanctioned companies, Eni\u2019s CFO Francesco Gattei said<\/a> in an earnings call just days after the sanctions were announced. The sanctions will accordingly have no material impact on operations, he added.<\/p>\n

So what actually happens in practice?<\/strong> In a normal joint venture<\/a> (JV), the operator (Eni) allocates each partner its share of volumes or funds from sales, and circulates cost calls and reimbursements across the partnership. That machinery is now legally blocked<\/a> for the Russian stake. Delivering Rosneft\u2019s 30% of Zohr gas \u2014 or wiring them their cash-equivalent \u2014 is prohibited. Same for cost-calls and reimbursements, Eni cannot invoice them, cannot pay on their behalf, and cannot remit anything to them without tripping sanctions. <\/p>\n

Banking and USD flows could get messy:<\/strong> Even as a passive shareholder in Zohr, Rosneft\u2019s involvement contaminates the payment chain. USD-denominated transfers \u2014 including EGPC\u2019s offtake payments \u2014 typically allocate a portion to Rosneft\u2019s equity, which can trigger secondary sanctions. To avoid that risk, domestic banks, or the CBE, would likely freeze or ring-fence any flows linked to sanctioned Russian equity rather than process them.<\/p>\n

Can you remove a sanctioned partner from a JV?<\/strong> It depends on the contract. Joint Operating Agreements (JOA) rarely address sanctions, but usually have default or withdrawal triggers if a party can\u2019t perform. But in modern JOAs \u2014 such as the 2023 Association of International Energy Negotiators (AIEN) model (pdf)<\/a> \u2014 sanctions are hard-coded, letting the non-sanctioned partners isolate a blacklisted party to keep the JV compliant. <\/p>\n

For older agreements signed before sanctions clauses became standard<\/strong>, like Zohr\u2019s JOA or Meleiha\u2019s, contracts may not explicitly address sanctions. In such cases, partners rely on generic default mechanics \u2014 if a party can\u2019t fund its share or receive output due to legal incapacity, it may trigger a default event, allowing remedies like loss or transfer of equity.<\/p>\n

But stripping or transferring a sanctioned share isn\u2019t a private move<\/strong>; any change in concession ownership would still need sign-off from the Oil Ministry. <\/p>\n

In the case of Lukoil\u2019s assets, we already see movement toward an outright exit: <\/strong>Lukoil announced<\/a> recently that it plans to sell off its international assets in response to the sanctions, confirming that it is reviewing bids from potential buyers, with the sale process being conducted under the US OFAC wind-down license. <\/p>\n

In Egypt<\/strong>, this is a clear sign that Lukoil intends to pull the plug on projects like WEEM and Meleiha. Buyers likely could include existing partners or other international firms. Scenarios include Eni upping its stake in Meleiha by acquiring Lukoil\u2019s 24%. In WEEM, EGPC\/Tharwa could take over operations. <\/p>\n

We are already making moves: <\/strong>In a recent tender document seen by Bloomberg<\/a>, EGPC said it would not accept gas cargoes from Lukoil or Litasco \u2014 effectively cutting out the Geneva-based trader that functions as Lukoil\u2019s international trading arm. Litasco wasn\u2019t explicitly named in the sanctions round, but its ownership link to Lukoil has already made counterparties \u2014 including EGPC \u2014 unwilling to touch its cargoes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
