LONDON, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Nigerian Qua Iboe exports were
scheduled to resume on Thursday while preliminary export plans
for March began to emerge for several Nigerian crude grades.
* The first cargo of Qua Iboe crude is due to restart after
exports of the crude stream were halted by force majeure
following a fire late last month, a revised export schedule for
January, February and March issued by ExxonMobil shows.
* The Qua Iboe crude oil stream will load five cargoes in
March at a daily rate of 170,000 barrels per day (bpd), a
preliminary programme showed, down from 215,000 bpd in February.
* Nigeria's Bonga crude stream was due to export four
cargoes in March, Usan one cargo, Erha two cargoes and Zafiro
crude from Equatorial Guinea one cargo.
* Angola's state oil company Sonangol was still seeking
buyers for six spot cargoes of crude loading in March.
* It kept offers steady from the previous session: Girassol
at dated Brent plus $1.50, Pazflor and Gindungo at plus 90
cents, Dalia at plus $1, and Hungo at plus 70 cents.
* India's IOC closed two buy tenders for crude loading in
the second half of March, though winners have yet to emerge.
