The development of technology has opened up the supplies from shale formations ( shale ) in the United States . The analysts expect that U.S. crude oil production rose to near a record last week , and crude oil inventories probably rose 250,000 barrels to 398.8 million barrels .

Brent oil rose for the first time in the last three days due to the unrest in Libya . A dramatic spike in confrontations in the two largest cities of Libya has brought the country to the brink of civil war between rival militias .
