On Monday, oil prices rose for the fourth session in a row as Libya sees production disruptions, adding to the market dilemma due to Western sanctions on Russian exports. 

According to Bloomberg, the Sharara field in western Libya closed down after protesters mobilized at the site, demanding that the Libyan Prime Minister, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, resign. El Feel oil deposit has also been closed down for the same reason.

Brent crude oil settled Monday's price at $113.16, up $1.46 or 1.3%. Last week, Brent gained 8.7% after two weeks of losses which ate 13% of crude prices.
