During a conference at CERAWeek on Monday, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth said that the Russian price cap has generated an excessive amount of obstacles in standard operations for global energy markets. 

"There's not a lot of swing capacity, there's not a lot of inventory capacity, so a little bit and the system normally optimizes within those parameters, but there's now a lot of constraints: you can't sell to this country, you can't buy from that country, can't insure," Wirth said, adding that he does not see the prospect of Europe to become a dependent consumer of Russian gas ever again.

On December 5, 2022, EU states and the G7 agreed to cap Russian oil at $60 per barrel and review the price every two months for the price to remain 5% below the International Energy Agency benchmark.

In retaliation to the price cap, President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on February 1 to ban the sales of crude oil to countries abiding by the Western-led price cap on Russian oil.
