Making money with oil: 5 trades

The "Fast Money" traders looked for opportunities in the energy sector as U.S. crude futures saw their highest settle since July 2015.

Trader Tim Seymour said investors should consider the oil services companies, which are the "most levered" because they are they are "most reliant on more drilling." He also said the big integrated oil companies, especially European ones like Royal Dutch Shell, look interesting because of their valuations and dividend yields.

Trader Karen Finerman said that the space is just a little too dependent on a possible OPEC deal, which makes investing in them a little too risky for her comfort.

Trader Guy Adami said Anadarko Petroleum probably still has room on the upside and is an interesting investment ahead of earnings.
