(Updates first bullet point with new information on Kissanje) LONDON, May 4 (Reuters) - Some West African crude deals have taken place this week, traders said on Thursday, although the market continued to await June export plans for Nigerian streams operated by ExxonMobil.


* Angola's state oil company Sonangol sold a cargo of Kissanje crude offered at dated Brent plus 90 cents on Wednesday, traders said, down 30 cents from the previous offer heard.


* Some cargoes of Congolese Djeno have also been traded this week although further details did not emerge.
* There was no sign yet of a loading programme for Nigerian Qua Iboe crude in June and that for other Exxon-operated grades after force majeure was lifted last month.


* Two May-loading Qua cargoes have slipped into June as a result of the disruption, a trader said. (Reporting by Alex Lawler; Editing by Krishna Chandra Eluri and Shailesh Kuber)
