MOSCOW: Russia's Surgutneftegaz sold 100,000 tonnes of Urals crude in a spot tender for loading from Primorsk port on Dec. 18-19 to Italy's Eni , traders said.

The cargo was awarded at a discount of $0.25 a barrel to dated Brent when adding freight to the original FOB-basis price, according to trade sources.

An additional cargo was added to Urals' December loading plan this week. As a result, exports from Primorsk port rose to 3.6 million tonnes and overall exports from Russia's Baltic ports increased to 5.8 million tonnes.
