US Congress demands SLB stop working in Russia
16.01.2025

SLB management claims full compliance with the current sanctions against the Russian oil and gas industry. The arguments include the fact that the supplied equipment is not manufactured at the company's own facilities, and the volume of business in Russia is not increasing. However, representatives of the US Congress disagree with this position.
Legislators insistently demand the company's complete withdrawal from the Russian market. In their opinion, SLB's continued activity in Russia could lead to a violation of the sanctions regime imposed by Washington on the Russian energy sector.
Experts note that SLB's withdrawal could significantly affect the Russian oil and gas industry, given the company's unique technologies and experience in oilfield services. This is especially relevant in a situation where other Western companies have already left the Russian market.
The situation reflects the general trend of increasing pressure from the American authorities on companies that maintain a presence in Russia. Particular attention is paid to the energy sector as a strategically important sector of the Russian economy.
