LONDON: Nigeria is set to export around 1.79 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude in October on 61 cargoes, shipping lists indicated on Tuesday.

This is below the 1.94 million bpd due to be exported in September after cargoes of Bonny Light were added to that programme.

However it is above the 1.72 million bpd due to be exported in August, which was a four-year low.

The programme excludes the Oyo grade, as the information was not yet available. However Oyo does not produce a cargo every month.
