Gazpromneft retail sites hit by US sanctions

In the final days of his presidency, US President Joe Biden implemented a fresh wave of sanctions targeting Russian companies operating abroad.

Among the entities affected was Gazpromneft’s network of petrol stations in Kazakhstan, which has been added to the US Department of the Treasury sanctions list.

The US sanctions package includes more than 30 Russian oilfield service companies, with particular focus on Gazpromneft's operations in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Serbia, and Luxembourg.

The sanctions have directly impacted Gazpromneft Kazakhstan LLC, a Kazakhstan-based Gazpromneft subsidiary, which is involved in the wholesale and retail distribution of oil products produced at refineries in Kazakhstan and the Omsk refinery in Russia.

Gazpromneft Kazakhstan operates a network of 78 petrol stations across Kazakhstan, including locations in major cities such as Astana, Almaty, Shymkent, and Karaganda, as well as in regional areas like Turkestan and Saryagash. The company provides fuel and other oil products to both wholesale and retail customers in these regions.
