NEW: Oil prices rises on potential OPEC+ supply cuts

Oil prices rose on Thursday on mounting supply tightness concerns amid disruptions to Russian exports, the potential for major producers to cut output, and the partial shutdown of a US refinery.
Brent crude rose 59 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $101.81 a barrel by 0400 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was up 42 cents, or 0.4 percent, at $95.31 a barrel.
Both crude oil benchmark contracts touched three-week highs on Wednesday after the Saudi energy minister flagged the possibility that the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC+, will cut production to support prices. – Reuters
