    OFAC Sanctions and Petroleum Trading: Compliance Essentials

    Petroleum is the most sanctioned commodity in the world. Every buyer must screen:

    • OFAC SDN (US Treasury)
    • EU Consolidated Sanctions List
    • UK OFSI
    • G7 Russian oil price cap (~$60/bbl)

    A single missed screen can lock your bank account globally. Run sanctions screening on every counterparty, every shipment.
