Brent crude was up 5 cents, or 0.1 percent, at $51.79 per barrel at 0353 GMT, after closing the previous session down 7 cents, and was on track for a weekly gain of about 0.8%. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) was up 10 cents, or 0.2%, at $48.85 a barrel and was also set for a small weekly rise.
