Nigeria’s oil exports are expected to fall slightly in June to just under 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd), loading plans showed on Monday. Reuters reports that the export plan comprised 60 cargoes, for a total of 1.796
million bpd, compared with the 1.895 million bpd in May’s revised export programme. June exports will also include four cargoes of Akpo condensate with 133,000 bpd, compared with three cargoes in May
offering 97,000 bpd. The export plans showed two fewer cargoes of Agbami in June, and one fewer Antan, Bonga, Qua Iboe, EA, Okono, Pennington and Usan compared with the previous month.
Nigerian oil export plans are prone to revisions and delays, with cargoes frequently pushed from one month to the next.
