Brent crude was up 20 cents or 0.3% at $79.48 per barrel by 1101 GMT. It rose 1.5% last week, its fourth weekly gain in a row. U.S. oil rose 1 cent or 0.1% to $75.98, after gaining for the past six weeks.

Oil prices have risen due to a rise in global demand and supply disruptions, pushing Brent last week above $80 to a near three-year high.
