At 1020 GMT front-month October ICE Brent crude was 48 cents higher than Thursday's close at $71.91/b, while the September NYMEX WTI crude was up 25 cents/b at $65.73/b.

Earlier in the week, the crude futures markets took a hit following the surprise build in US stocks reported by the Energy Information Agency Wednesday, publishing a 6.81 million barrels increase in the week ended August 10, while analysts were instead expecting a draw of as much as 1.7 million barrels.

"Brent is thus facing its third consecutive weekly loss. WTI even looks set to be down for the seventh week running -- which would be its longest losing streak in three years," Commerzbank said in a note Friday.

"US and China trade tensions continued to rumble on, with both countries planning to meet for trade talks.

"There are growing concerns that the trade dispute between the US and China -- the two largest oil consumer countries -- could weigh on global oil demand," Commerzbank said.

Elsewhere, Libya's crude oil recovery has seen output rise above 1 million b/d for the first time since early June, sources close to production said. The latest increase came mainly from the Sharara oil field where production has moved above 250,000 b/d, up from 218,000 b/d last week, the sources said.

In other data, China's refinery crude throughput rose 11.6% year on year to 50.75 million mt in July, or an average of 12 million b/d, data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed on Friday.

In other markets, the dollar index was down 0.05% at 96.43. In equities markets, the S&P 500 was up 0.79% and the FTSE 100 down 0.16%.
