Oil prices climbed about 2% on Friday to settle at a three-week high, on expectations that additional sanctions on Russia and Iran could tighten supplies and that lower interest rates in Europe and the U.S. could boost fuel demand.
Brent futures rose $1.08, or 1.5%, to settle at $74.49 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose $1.27, or 1.8%, to settle at $71.29.
That was Brent's highest close since Nov. 22 and put the contract up 5% for the week. WTI posted a 6% gain for the week and closed at its highest since Nov. 7.
"This strength is being driven by ... expectations of tighter sanctions against Russia and Iran, more supportive Chinese economic guidance, Mideast political havoc and prospects for a Fed (U.S. Federal Reserve) rate cut next week," analysts at energy advisory firm Ritterbusch and Associates said in a note.
Delek Logistics has bolstered its presence in the Permian Basin through an agreement to acquire Gravity Water Midstream in a deal combining cash and stock, totaling $285 million. This marks Delek's second acquisition of water infrastructure assets since September.
The deal was made public on Dec. 12, with an anticipated closure in the first quarter of 2025. Delek will pay $200 million in cash for Gravity Oilfield Services, with Gravity Water Midstream being one of its divisions. The remaining $85 million will be covered by issuing Delek shares.
Gravity's midstream operations span the Midland Basin in Texas and the Williston Basin in North Dakota, featuring over 200 miles of permanent pipeline and 46 saltwater disposal facilities, as per the press release.
