Oil prices stabilized during trading on Friday, giving up the gains it had recorded earlier in the session, ahead of data release from Baker Hughes for oil services.

原油価格 received support this week from a strong storm that hit coast of Gulf of Mexico, a vital area in US energy industry.

Oil and natural gas production activities have been largely suspended in Gulf of Mexico, which in turn affects US gross domestic product.

Baker Hughes will announce later today data on number of drilling rigs for oil and natural gas in America for this week.
