Petrofac Facilities Management Limited was ordered to pay £569,157 to HM Revenue and Customs after breaching UK sanctions imposed on Russia, GB News reported. The breaches occurred in 2022 and 2023 while the company withdrew from its Russian operations.
The Aberdeen-headquartered firm supplied industrial goods subject to the sanctions to individuals connected with Russia and provided related technical assistance.
It became the first business publicly identified after agreeing to a compound settlement with HMRC to avoid court proceedings. HMRC said the public naming marks a shift toward greater transparency and will consider making identification a standard condition for future compound settlements on strategic export controls and sanctions breaches.
Petrofac voluntarily disclosed the breaches and fully cooperated with the investigation.
The company designs, builds and operates energy infrastructure across oil and gas, refining and renewable sectors. Its UK operations include managing North Sea oil platforms on behalf of BP and Shell. Petrofac entered administration in October 2025 after a renewables contract collapsed in the Netherlands.
In April 2026 CB&I acquired its asset solutions division, and the company completed the sale of its Emirates engineering and construction business.
