The price for a barrel of Brent crude, the international standard, was at USD 107.97 after trading resumed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, up 16.5 per cent from its Friday closing price of USD 92.69.
West Texas Intermediate, the light, sweet crude oil produced in the United States, was selling for about USD 106.22 a barrel. That is 16.9 per cent higher than it closed Friday at USD 90.90.
Both could rise or fall as market trading continued.
The increases followed the US crude price jumping by 36 per cent and Brent crude rising by 28 per cent last week. Oil prices have surged as the war, now in its second week, ensnared countries and places that are critical to the production and movement of oil and gas from the Persian Gulf.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday sought a discussion in the Lok Sabha on the ongoing conflict in West Asia and urged the government to clarify its foreign policy, alleging that India was acting under pressure from the US.
Speaking to reporters outside Parliament, Yadav said the government should spell out how it is dealing with the situation, especially in view of the large number of Indians living and working in Gulf countries.
The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister also claimed that several journalists who had accompanied Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recent trip to Israel were now stranded in the region.
"A large number of Indians are stuck in Gulf countries. Journalists who had accompanied the prime minister during his visit to Israel as political journalists have now become war journalists. How will they return?" Yadav said.
