LONDON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Offers for Nigerian and Angolan
crude remained steady as some West African cargoes traded,
though sale prices remained elusive and demand was still largely
weak.
* The buy tender issued by Taiwan's Formosa was filled by a
cargo of Angolan Girassol from state oil company Sonangol,
traders said.
* Taiwan's CPC did not ultimately award a tender for sweet
oil for delivery in November.
* China's Unipec was not believed to have sold any of its
term-allocated cargoes except for one cargo of Mostarda crude
which was purchased by Mercuria for dated Brent minus 40 cents.
* Sonangol's offers for a large handful of its remaining
spot cargoes remained largely steady, with traders seeing a
dearth of Chinese buying coming to an end as demand perks up.
* Nigeria's NNPC issued a tender for its annual crude oil
contracts, with bidders having until Sept. 16 to make
submissions, and final submissions closing on Oct. 15.
