Oil prices rose slightly on Thursday, finding some support after heavy losses in the previous two sessions that were driven by fears of a U.S. recession and an increase in Russian oil exports which dulled the impact of OPEC production cuts. Brent crude was trading at $77.94 a barrel, up 25 cents, or 0.3% as of 0252 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude added 12 cents or 0.2% to trade at $74.42.
