Brent crude finished down at $60.80 a barrel.
Natural gas finished up on Friday at $4.366 MMBtu after a gain of $0.124  or 2.92%.
Friday’s trading proved to be a day of losses for more Oklahoma energy stocks including NGL Energy Partners with a 5% drop in share value. Empire Petroleum fell 3% on the day.
