Basrah Heavy crude surged by $0.16 to $81.87, and Basrah Medium climbed by $0.16 to $84.37.
Brent crude futures extended gains on Monday, inching up amid political uncertainty in major producing countries after Iran's president died in a helicopter crash and the Saudi crown prince canceled a Japan trip, citing health issues with the king.
