REUTERS - Oil futures were higher ahead of the weekend but remained on track for large weekly losses on fears that slower global economic growth will hurt fuel demand, even as Saudi Arabia said it has fully restored oil output after recent attacks.
Brent crude oil futures LCOc1 rose 12 cents, or 0.2%, to $57.83 a barrel by 0703 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude CLc1 futures rose 9 cents, or 0.2%, to $52.54.
For the week, Brent was down 6.6%, marking its largest weekly loss since December. WTI was down 6% for the week, its biggest decline since July.

"Continued falls in drilling activity has seen monthly growth in U.S. shale oil output fall, from 150 thousand barrels per day (kbpd) to only 50 kbpd," said ANZ Bank on Friday.
"This is likely to linger well into 2020."
