The U.
S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Wednesday that oil prices will remain above $100 a barrel in the coming months, reflecting the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, tight energy markets and current and possible future sanctions
against Russia.

22 per barrel this year, significantly raising its February forecast
of $82.

The EIA said in last week's STEO that it expects Brent crude to average $117 per barrel in March, $116 in the second quarter of this year and $102 per barrel in the second half of 2022

benchmark WTI crude averaged $113 per barrel this month and $112 per barrel in the second quarter of 2022.

Earlier on Wednesday, WTI rose 2 percent to more than $98 ahead of the EIA inventory report, and Brent crude rose 1.

Monday.
