US crude closed at $105 while volatility was in control of prices

Crude oil prices managed another gain on Friday for the week but were still down 4% for the week as volatility gripped control over little progress seen in talks between Russia and Ukraine.
Prices for West Texas Intermediate crude for April delivery went up $1.72 to settle at $104.70 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Global benchmark Brent crude for May delivery closed up $1.29 at $107.93 on ICE Futures Europe.
April natural gas fell 13 cents $4.86 per 1,000 cubic feet.
U.S. energy firms this week reduced the number of oil rigs active in the United States even as oil prices continued to trade over $100 a barrel after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine stoked global energy supply concerns.
Overall, the total rig count, however, remained unchanged because drillers added some natural gas and other rigs this week.
Baker Hughes said that puts the total rig count up 252 rigs, or 61%, over this time last year.
U.S. oil rigs fell three to 524 this week, while gas rigs rose two to 137, their highest since October 2019.
Biden Administration to Resume Plans for Federal Oil and Gas Development

The Biden administration on March 18 said it would resume plans for oil and gas development on federal lands following a court ruling this week that temporarily restored a measure meant to factor the cost of global warming into federal decision-making.
The announcement comes a month after the Interior Department said it would delay upcoming federal oil and gas lease sales because a Louisiana federal court judge blocked the administration from using its "social cost of carbon" value to factor the risks of climate change into decisions on permitting, investment and regulatory issues.
