Western countries could face oil prices of over $300 per barrel and the possible closure of the main Russia-Germany gas pipeline if governments follow through on threats to cut energy supplies from Russia, a senior minister said on Monday.
"It is absolutely clear that a rejection of Russian oil would lead to catastrophic consequences for the global market," Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in a statement on state television.
"The surge in prices would be unpredictable. It would be $300 per barrel if not more."
Permian Basin to Play Critical Role in Global Energy Security, Exxon Mobil CEO Says

HOUSTON—Amid increasing concerns of energy security on the heels of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the U.S. shale industry—especially the Permian Basin—is playing a critical role in keeping markets supplied with essential energy, according to Darren Woods, CEO of oil major Exxon Mobil Corp.
“Our industry has an important role in keeping markets supplied, helping keep lights on, and keeping hospitals, schools, and businesses running,” Woods said speaking at the annual CERAWEEK energy conference by S&P Global on March 7.
While the situation in Europe underscores the need for energy security, Woods said technology breakthroughs in the Permian Basin have helped unlock “vast new sources of oil and natural gas in the shale,” adding that crude oil and energy exports from the Permian and other parts of the U.S. will help stabilize markets and strengthen global energy security.
