Problems at TNK-BP, which have intensified throughout the year, are seen by market spectators as a test for Russia's investment case.

Analysts have said repeated inspections and Dudley's ban mean a state-controlled giant, such as Russian gas export monopoly Gazprom or oil major Rosneft, could be eyeing TNK-BP as Russia tightens its grip on the country's strategic energy sector.

"The unambiguous conclusion is that the said officials were carrying out somebody's orders, and we request that this be investigated," Dudley said.
