LONDON, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Angola's February allocations
emerged with its state oil firm receiving two cargoes to offer
on Friday.
* Indian Oil Corp awarded two tenders loading Jan. 29 to
Feb. 7 and Feb. 13-22. Shell, Vitol and Chevron were the winners
with Nigerian crude, traders said. IOC was said to have taken
some non-west African grades as well.
* Angola's state oil firm Sonangol was offering two February
spot cargoes: Girassol at dated Brent plus $2.50 a barrel and
Dalia at dated Brent plus $2.00.
* Turkey's Tupras closed a buy tender for west African or
North Sea crude for Jan. 20-31 delivery but winner details did
not immediately emerge.
* February loading programmes for key Nigerian grades -
Bonny Light, Forcados, Bonga and Qua Iboe still had not emerged.
Qua Iboe's release was delayed by a recent fire at the terminal
and a full Brass River programme was not available as force
majeure had only recently been lifted.
