British Energy companies in Russia are coming under more intensive scrutiny from Moscow in the aftermath of the Litvinenko affair.
The Russian ministry of national resources has accused JKX Oil and Gas and Dana Petroleum of exaggerating their own reserves by claiming they have deposits in other Russian-owned fields. The deputy chief of the federal natural resources use supervision service (Rosprirodnadzor), Oleg Mitvol, said Dana attracted their attention when it said ‘it had reserves that belong to [Russian oil firm] Lukoil’.
JKX Energy fell foul of the ministry when it claimed on its website to have a licence for a 30.5 per cent stake in the Inchke More field; according to Moscow, that licence was withdrawn in 2003. The Russian government also raised concerns over JKX’s purchase of the Southern Russian energy firm Yuzhgazenergy.
The decision to target British firms in Russia follows pressure on BP and Shell to hand over stakes to Gazprom, and after Imperial Energy was accused of making dubious claims that it had 3 billion barrels of Siberian oil reserves.
Rosprirodnadzor also intends to investigate subsidiaries of TNK-BP and British Timan Oil and Gas.
The news hit share prices with JKX closing 6.37 per cent down on Friday.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
