NIGERIA

* Around seven or eight April cargoes were still available or being re-sold. ExxonMobil was still showing its April 20-21 cargo of Qua Iboe at around dated Brent plus $1.00.

* The Amenam programme surfaced with four cargoes of 1 million barrels each in May – two for Total and two for state oil firm NNPC.

* Qua Iboe was pegged at around dated Brent plus 60 to 80 cents a barrel with no May cargoes on offer yet as the first 10 days of May are deferred April ones.

* Traders were also waiting for term allocations from NNPC.

ANGOLA

* Around three or four cargoes were left from the April programme.

* Statoil was offering a cargo of Girassol at dated Brent plus 35 cents a barrel, loading in May.

* Cargoes of Cabinda were sold out mainly to term buyers, traders said, and the grade was pegged at a small discount to dated Brent.

* Unipec was offering several April cargoes, including Saturno, Mondo, Nemba, Kissange, Hungo and others.

* State firm Sonangol has not sold its spot cargoes yet.

TENDERS

* A tender from India’s BPCL for May loading cargoes closes early next week.

* Carlyle Group has bought Royal Dutch Shell’s onshore assets in Gabon for $587 million as the world’s largest private equity fund expands in the global oil and gas sector.

* Bad weather off the coast of Angola has prevented the berthing of fuel vessels docking at Cabinda and Benguela ports, causing shortages at filling stations and power blackouts, state-energy company Sonangol said.

* The head of a group helping organise Shell’s clean-up efforts in an oil Delta community in Nigeria said he was hopeful clean-up work after two spills in 2008 could start in April.
