Sorry, that was not quite correct.
It should be: Spring Time Holding is a subsidiary of ConocoPhillips.

Behind the company ...stands...
I would leave it in exactly the same order.
Behind Spring Time Holdings, an offshore company registered in the BVI, which acquired ..., stands ConocoPhillips.
It may CP may own STH, but more likely it's just using STH to build up a stake.

: whether one is outright owned by the other (I, for one, am sure t'ain't), using "owned" in the translation would be a totally unjustifiable inference, especially since a perfectly fluent and direct translation (here) is available.

I agree that "owned" is not justified, and it looks rather like a translation from English anyway (or at least an import of an English financial journalistic expression).

ConocoPhillips owns Spring Time Holding that…
I would have translated the following way
Discussion
The likely scenario is that STH has been commissioned by ConocoPhillips to quietly buy a stake in the company (Lukoil), which CP will then buy from STH. CP would of course indemnify STH against any losses and pay it a substantial fee. Disclosure rules probably mean that CP would have to disclose any holding in another oil company, even if it couldn't buy up a sufficient stake to be interesting.
