Investing.com - Oil prices rose on Tuesday as a strike in Kuwait cut huge amounts of crude out of the supply chain, off setting worries about a global supply glut.
Kuwait's crude output fell to 1.1 million barrels per day on Sunday, from 2.8 million bpd in March as thousands of workers went on strike.
Brent crude was at $43.65 a barrel at 10:57 GMT, 74 cents above their previous close.
U.S. crude futures were up 55 cents at $41.74 a barrel.
But analysts expect the disruption to be brief and markets to soon refocus on the global glut given the failure of major exporters to agree on an output freeze at their Sunday meeting in Doha.
