LONDON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - West African crude markets
looked on Thursday to be finding further support from brisk
demand as well as tight supply.
* Angolan state oil firm Sonangol sold its last
March-loading spot cargo, a Girassol last offered at dated Brent
plus $1.70, a trader said. Another trader said the buyer was
Chevron.
* Chevron was no longer offering its March-loading Cabinda
which was shown at dated Brent plus $1.20 earlier this week, a
trader said. Whether or not it was sold was not known.
* Global tightness in light sweet crude has helped to buoy
offers for Nigerian crude. Qua Iboe was heard to be on offer for
a premium close to dated Brent plus $4.00 a barrel, up from
around dated plus $3.50 heard on Monday.
* Uruguay's ANCAP has a buy tender running for a March 26-30
arrival cargo. The tender closed on Wednesday.
* Cameroon's SNH issued a sell tender for March-loading
cargoes of Lokele and Kole. The tender closes on Feb. 7.
* Other tenders from South Africa's Sasol and Indonesia's
Pertamina may be on hold, a trader said.
