According to Reuters reports, About 15-20 Nigerian cargoes remained from the March programmes and a delay was expected on the issuing of April schedules depending on the outcome of the general election over the weekend.

* Spot activity stayed on the sidelines because of uncertainty over potential violence in the oil-rich delta region and as sellers awaited the new programmes.

* The April loading programme was expected to emerge on Monday.

* Total sold its remaining Girassol and Gindungo cargoes, traders said, with the Girassol heading to Asia. Total had offered Girassol at dated Brent plus $1.50 a barrel and Gindungo at dated Brent plus 40 cents.

* IOC has awarded its tender to Total for two VLCCs of West African crude. The tender was for oil loading between March 26 and April 4 and another for April 7-16.

* Indonesia’s Pertamina issued a buy tender for cargoes for end-April or May delivery. The tender closes next week.

* India’s HPCL issued a buy tender for April-loading cargoes, also closing next week. (Reporting by Julia Payne Editing by David Goodman )
