.
LONDON, Nov 28 (Reuters) -Angolan crude gradesremained under pressure from ample supply on Fridaywith a cargo of Girassol being offered without finding a buyer, although Unipec was heard to have bought state oil firm Sonangol's Nemba cargo this week.
* Angolan Girassol was offered and withdrawn by Equinor for Jan. 20-21 at dated Brent plus $1.50 via the Platts window, steady from Thursday's value, a source said.
* Equinor showed the same cargo at a lower $1 premium to an Argus crude benchmark via the Argus system, the source said.
* On other grades, Sonangol has sold its cargo of January-loading Nemba to Unipec, a trader said. The cargo was last offered at dated Brent minus $1.40.
* Sonangol still has a Dalia cargo avilable, the trader said, which was last offered at dated minus 60 cents.
* On Nigeriancrude, Bonny Light was thought by one trader to be worth less than its value earlier this week of aboutdated Brent plus $1.00, as an Indian Oil Corp buying tender that had supported demand was now closed.
* Supply is ample for December and exports of four key Nigerian grades - Qua Iboe, Bonny, Bonga and Forcados - will reach 841,000 barrels per day (bpd) in January, preliminary programmes seen by Reuters on Tuesday showed, up from a combined 770,000 bpd scheduled to load in December.
