Moderate gains recorded in crude oil prices but one OK energy stock soared in day’s trading

As crude oil prices recorded slight gains in Monday’s trading, some Oklahoma energy stocks made significant gains, including a Tulsa energy company with a 15% jump for the day.

Gains in crude prices came as OPEC+ production cuts didn’t offset worries around crude oversupply in the coming year. The slight gains came after both rose more than 2% on Friday.

US benchmark, West Texas Intermediate crude rose 9 cents or 0.1% to finish at $71.32 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Brent crude, the benchmark considered globally, recorded a 19 cent gain or 0.3% and closed at $76.03 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.

January natural gas fell 15 cents to $2.43 per 1,000 cubic feet.

It was a split day for Oklahoma energy stocks, one with some surprising losses and gains. Take Unit Corporation. The Tulsa firm saw a gain of more than 15% as its shares soared by $8.56 each. PHX Minerals also recorded a more than 5% gain for the day.
