  Oil and gas operations on federal land continued to be opposed as multiple environmental groups filed written protests of an upcoming auction of land in New Mexico for drilling.

  The groups opposed 32 of the parcels, totaling 5,942 acres in the area that stretches across southeast New Mexico and West Texas.

  U.S. crude-oil futures for January delivery advanced 4.3% to $44.91 a barrel, rallying for the sixth time in seven sessions and eclipsing their peak closing level from late August.
  
  Brent crude, the global gauge of oil prices, added 3.9% to $47.86 a barrel on Tuesday, also posting its highest close since March.
