Russia-Ukraine crisis: Crude prices at 7 year highs; experts discuss road ahead
Feb 15, 2022 9:30 AM

This makes the geopolitical happenings all the more crucial with many fearing that crude will touch USD 100 per barrel. So what is the outlook for the energy sector? And will anything stop crude's meteoric rise? To discuss this CNBC-TV18 spoke to Paul Hickin, Director at S&P Global Platts; Sushant Gupta, Director at Wood Mackenzie and Roberto Aguilera, Energy Economist.
