U.S. crude prices settled higher on Friday, turning positive after an early decline, supported by expectations that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and their allies, known as OPEC+, would maintain production cuts.

However, Brent and U.S. crude oil benchmarks both declined on the week after reaching multi-year highs on Monday.

Brent crude rose 6 cents to settle at $84.38, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 76 cents, or 0.9%, to $83.57.

"While more Iranian supply may come online, it looks like OPEC+ is unlikely to raise production which is giving strength to the market today," said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital LLC in New York.
