UK Hits SIBUR, Slavneft, Vostok Oil and Russian Coal Majors in a 20-Listing Energy Package
On 12 November 2026 the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office designated nine companies and specified eleven ships under the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, and varied one existing entry. The companies are six Russian producers, Slavneft, SIBUR Holding, NIPIGAZ, Rosneft's Arctic project Vostok Oil and the coal companies Kuzbassrazrezugol and SUEK, and three Dubai traders, Forteza Trading, Patera and Novus Energy. The ships are LNG carriers and oil tankers specified for carrying Russian cargo to third countries. The UK Government says the Slavneft listing makes it the first country to sanction all of Russia's top ten oil producers. The variation removes the name NOVUS ENERGY DMCC from the ALTRUM GROUP FZCO entry now that Novus Energy is designated in its own right. Screening teams should load every name and IMO number today.

Producers, Traders and the Ships That Carry the Cargo
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office added 20 entries to the UK Sanctions List under the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. Six are Russian producers: the oil company Slavneft, the petrochemical and gas group SIBUR Holding, the gas engineering company NIPIGAZ, Rosneft's Arctic project Vostok Oil and two coal companies, Kuzbassrazrezugol and the Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK). Three are Dubai free zone traders: Forteza Trading, Patera and Novus Energy. Each company faces an asset freeze, trust services and director disqualification sanctions and transport sanctions. Eleven ships are specified: five LNG tankers and five ships the UK says carry Russian oil to third countries, plus the KORYAK FSU, whose listed owner is Novatek.
The Prime Minister's Office framed the package as targeting nearly every part of Russia's oil and gas revenue chain, from producers to trading networks, supply chains and vessels, and said the Slavneft listing makes the UK the first country to sanction all of Russia's top ten oil producers. The same notice varies the entry for ALTRUM GROUP FZCO, a Dubai company designated in December 2025: the name NOVUS ENERGY DMCC, until now one of its name variations, is deleted because Novus Energy is now designated in its own right.

What this means for your organisation
- 01
Load all 20 new entries today: Add the nine entities with every name variation and non-Latin name on the UK entry, and the eleven ships by IMO number and name, with the asset freeze and shipping measures each carries.
- 02
Screen ships on the IMO number: Three of the eleven ships appear on other lists under different names (LA PRIDE or Deimos, PSKOV, Gracep); a name-only rule will miss them, and the IMO number does not change when a ship is renamed.
- 03
Re-screen SIBUR, Slavneft and coal counterparties: Check trade finance, letters of credit, chemicals and plastics flows and commodity payments for the six producers, and review the ownership of affiliates and distributors you deal with.
- 04
Look again at the Dubai trading layer: Screen Forteza Trading, Patera (and its DMCC name variations) and Novus Energy against counterparty, beneficiary and payment narrative data, and treat Novus Energy as a separate listed entity, not only as a former Altrum name.
- 05
Update the Altrum record: Remove NOVUS ENERGY DMCC as a name variation of ALTRUM GROUP FZCO and record the 12 November 2026 variation date, so the audit trail shows the name moved to its own entry rather than being delisted.
