Nigeria has about 15 cargoes left from its October-loading schedule, a trader said on Wednesday, suggesting relatively healthy demand at this stage of the cycle.

Nigeria’s October loading schedule emerged in late August. The West African country on average typically has 40 cargoes of crude on offer in any given month.

Nigeria’s November loading schedule is expected in the coming days.

Angolan exports are set to drop in November, according to the loading schedule released on Tuesday.

Angola plans to load 32 crude oil cargoes in November, according to a preliminary programme, compared to the 37 cargoes scheduled for October loading.
