Nigerian crude oil was offered at their highest levels in about a month as sales picked up, while Indonesia’s Pertamina sought cargoes in a buy tender.

Escravos and Forcados were offered at around dated Brent plus $3, while light sweet Qua Iboe and Bonny Light were offered at above dated Brent plus $2.

Indonesia’s Pertamina was running a buy tender for September arrival, due to close next week.
