LONDON, May 6 (Reuters) - Offers for West African crude
eased slightly across the board as supply gluts mounted while
Asian demand was mostly scarce, but buy tenders provided some
hope.

* Nigerian offers were pared down, with Bonny Light and Qua
Iboe crude offered at around dated Brent flat and Agbami near
dated Brent minus $2.
* Around seven cargoes of Congolese Djeno crude still
awaited buyers, pushing offers below dated Brent minus $2.
* Offers for Zafiro crude slipped to around dated Brent
flat, while offers for spot cargoes of Angolan crude eased by
about 20 cents.
* European demand for lighter crude grades has yet to fully
recover while Asian buying is dented by new COVID-19 waves in
some countries and slow Chinese buying.
* Indonesia's Pertamina on Thursday closed a buy tender for
which some types of West African oil are eligible for loading
June 1-19 or July arrival.
* Turkey's Tupras also closed a tender on Thursday for which
several Nigerian grades were eligible for loading June 25-30.
