Brent crude futures were at $79.55 per barrel at 0651 GMT, up 25 cents, or 0.3 percent, from their last close.
Brent broke through $80 for the first time since November 2014 on Thursday. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $71.65 a barrel, up 16 cents, or 0.2 percent, from their last settlement.
