Shares of oil and gas companies are trading higher by up to 3% as Brent crude prices steadied near US $113/barrel.

Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL), Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) are up 2-3% on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

Brent futures dipped towards $113 a barrel on Monday, adding to last week's fall as supply disruption fears from Iraq eased and government forces launched a pushback against a Sunni militant takeover of large areas of the country, the Reuters report suggests.

Among the individual stocks, BPCL and HPCL surged 3% each at Rs 588 and Rs 410 respectively.

ONGC is trading higher by 2% at Rs 419 on the BSE. The company said it will invest over Rs 5,700 crore in redevelopment of its giant Mumbai High (North) oil and gas field.
