* Angolan state oil company Sonangol continued to seek
buyers for cargoes of Cabinda and Dalia crude, offered at dated
Brent plus $1.50 and minus $1.20 respectively.
* The offers are down by up to a dollar in a week, in a sign
of how early Chinese buying interest for April-loading cargoes
failed to last.
* Around six cargoes of Angolan crude loading in April
remain unsold, with May-loading export plans due to be issued on
Friday.
* Lighter Nigerian crude grades were being edged out of the
European market by cheaper Azeri competition.
* More Nigerian volumes than in previous months were finding
a home in the United States, however, providing a floor for a
recent fall in offer prices.
