LONDON—Oil prices extended losses on Friday and were heading for a weekly fall as the prospect of increased Iranian oil exports eclipsed fears of potential supply disruption resulting from the Russia-Ukraine crisis.

Brent crude futures fell $1.54, or 1.6 percent, to $91.43 a barrel by 1236 GMT, extending a 1.9 percent drop from the previous session.
