LONDON, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Rising freight rates, a flat
market structure and poor margins weighed on spot sales of
Angolan crude on Wednesday but strengthening naphtha margins
could lend a hand to Nigerian grades.
* About a dozen cargoes of Angolan crude were still
available, considered a hefty amount for the end of the trading
cycle. The February programme will emerge early next week.
* CLOV was offered at dated Brent plus $2.00, Dalia at plus
$1.80, Kissanje at plus $1.60, Nemba at plus 90 cents, Plutonio
at plus $1.70 and Saturno at plus 70 cents.
* India's IOC issued a buy tender for crude loading Feb.
1-10 which includes several West African grades, set to close on
Thursday.
* Indonesia's Pertamina issued a buy tender for February
arrival cargoes. The tender closes Dec. 11.
