The legislation broadly defines "petroleum equipment and services" to include exploration and production equipment, software, data access, licensing, engineering, consulting, and technology transfer.

Additionally, sanctions may not be imposed for transactions related to humanitarian assistance , such as the sale of agricultural commodities, food, medicine, or medical devices, or for fulfilling international obligations. The President may also waive sanctions for up to 180 days if vital to U.S. national security, with congressional notification.
