The pace of sales for February-loading Angolan oil is faster than the last couple of months, with only 20-30% of next month’s supplies still seeking buyers. The main reason for the quicker trading is better demand from Asia #OOTT #oil #china

The selling pace of Angolan oil for December-loading is slower than usual, with about a third of the shipments still seeking buyers, according to traders specializing in West African oil. The main reason is weaker demand from China #OOTT #Oil #crude

Nigeria’s Dangote mega-refinery is taking more of the country’s own oil for processing, while inflows from the US appear to be waning. The plant is set to import 81% of its feedstock from domestic sources in 3Q, up from 73% in 2Q #oil #OOTT #nigeria

Nigeria’s giant new Dangote refinery is being priced out of local crude, forcing it to rely on supplies from abroad, according to its operator. International companies regularly sell their Nigerian barrels overseas for a premium #oott #oott #oil #nigeria

Nigeria’s Dangote mega-refinery is taking in ever more US crude, bringing cheaper barrels thousands of miles across the Atlantic. In August & September inflows from the US may be set to rise further, based on supply tenders seen by Bloomberg. #oil #OOTT
