H.R. 7094: No Aid for russian Energy Act
Oil and gas money helps pay for russia's war. The bill's sponsors say U.S. oilfield service companies have kept helping russian producers through foreign subsidiaries, despite a January 2025 U.S. ban on petroleum services. This bill would require the President to ban supplying oil and gas equipment, software, cloud data access, engineering advice and technology licenses to anyone in russia. The ban would cover foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies, and foreign suppliers to russia's oil and gas sector would face asset freezes and visa bans.
Why it matters
The January 2025 U.S. ban on petroleum services to russia is an executive action that a later administration could lift. H.R. 7094 would write the ban into law and extend it to foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies, the route the bill's sponsors say U.S. oilfield service firms have used to keep helping russian producers. Oil and gas revenue is a large share of the russian budget that pays for the war.
