LONDON: West African crude differentials were steady on Monday as July-loading cargoes started to find buyers, although unsold June shipments could weigh on the market.
A crude oil pipeline in Nigeria operated by Eni was attacked on Sunday, adding to the country's supply disruptions.
ANGOLA
State oil firm Sonangol has been offering two July-loading Dalia cargoes and one Nemba and Saturno, traders said.
Unipec bought one of the Dalia cargoes, which was last offered at dated Brent minus $3.20, a trader said.
The Nemba was offered at dated minus 10 cents and the Saturno at dated minus $3.90.
In addition, about six June-loading cargoes are still available.
NIGERIA
Qua Iboe was valued at about dated Brent plus $1.10, in line with Friday. Traders said that uncertainty about the timing of loading was deterring buyers.
Cargoes of Qua are delayed by eight to 15 days, according to a revised loading schedule.
A trade source said Nigeria's Brass River stream, operated by Eni, had also suffered an output problem.
On Sunday, a pipeline operated by Eni was attacked, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSDC) said.
Eni, which operates in Nigeria through its subsidiary Nigerian Agip Oil Company, could not be immediately reached on Sunday to comment on the attack.
