India's BPCL buys 1 mln bbls Jan Nigerian crude-trade
LONDON, Dec 1 (Reuters) - India's Bharat Petroleum Corp (BPCL) bought 1 million barrels of Nigerian Agbami crude oil in its second tender for January loading sweet grades on Tuesday, traders said.
India's second-largest state-run refiner took the crude from Statoil for shipping on Jan. 9-10. No price details were immediately available.
In its last tender, BPCL bought 1 million barrels each of Nigerian Bonny Light and Agbami crude from Royal Dutch Shell along with 1 million barrels of Saharan Blend from Sonatrach. All were for January loading.
BPCL operates a 240,000 barrels per day (bpd) refinery in Mumbai and a 150,000-bpd refinery in the southern Indian state of Kerala, run by subsidiary Kochi Refineries Ltd.
It also owns a majority stake in a 60,000-bpd refinery in northeast India. (Reporting by Joe Brock; editing by James Jukwey) ((joe.brock@thomsonreuters.com; +44207 542 9162))
