LONDON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Nigerian official selling prices
(OSPs) were still awaited on Tuesday while new buy tenders
provided possible outlets for abundant low-priced Nigerian
crude.
* Nigeria's NNPC had yet to issue its official selling
prices which were expected imminently, to be followed by crude
export plans for December.
* Sellers took heart that new lockdown restrictions
especially in Europe were coinciding with refinery outages,
giving a boost to margins and demand.
* Bonga, Qua Iboe and Bonny Light crude continued to be
offered at around and above dated Brent flat, though ultimate
sale prices will likely be lower.
* India's IOC has issued another tender for crude arriving
in the last week of December, for which West African grades are
eligible. The tender is set to close on Wednesday.
* Taiwan's CPC is also running a buy tender which closes on
Tuesday for sweet crude oil.
