W. Africa Crude-Angolan under pressure, but cargoes find homes
LONDON, Nov 11 (Reuters) -Angolan crude oil differentials remained under downward pressure on Monday although further signs emerged that the drop in values has given a boost to Chinese demand.
* ENI sold a cargo of Angolan Nemba loading Dec. 16-17 at dated Brent minus $2.20 a barrel via the Platts window. That was lower than an offer earlier in the day at dated minus $1.30.
* China's Unipec bought ENI's Mondo and Sangos cargoes, a trader said. The last offers known were dated minus $1.20 and dated minus $1.25, respectively.
* After these deals around 15 cargoes from the December Angolan loading programme remain unsold, according to Reuters calculations based on information from trade sources, a sizable volume given January's schedule will be out in around a week.
* State oil firm Sonangol was not yet heard to have sold its Cabinda cargo earlier offered at dated Brent plus 90 cents.
* On Nigerian crude, Exxon was heard to have bought Equinor's Agbami cargo. Further details were not known.
* As many as 35 Nigerian cargoes remain unsold from the December schedule, a trade source said, an ample volume.
