Exports of three main Nigerian crude oil grades in September are expected to be lower than in August, preliminary export programmes seen by traders showed.

Loadings from the Bonny Light, Bonga and Qua Iboe streams will total about 387,000 barrels per day (bpd) compared with 440,000 bpd in August, the programmes showed.

All three crude streams will load four cargoes each, while loadings of another key oil grade Forcados remain halted amid a suspected oil leak.
