Cheat Sheet: Trade Compliance Health Check for Oil and Gas

Trade compliance in oil & gas is uniquely complex. You operate across multiple jurisdictions, move high-value and dual-use equipment, and rely on a global network of suppliers and freight forwarders — all under the watchful eye of regulators.

With rapidly evolving sanctions, new restrictions on energy exploration technology, and heightened enforcement from BIS, OFAC, and EU authorities, the stakes have never been
higher. A single misstep can mean millions in fines, seized equipment, reputational damage, or even project shutdowns.

This health check is designed for senior trade compliance, legal, and supply chain leaders in oil & gas. Use it to assess your program maturity, uncover blind spots, and demonstrate to leadership where targeted improvements -including team training – can reduce risk and improve operational resilience
