Angola Crude Exports Set to Rise in January

Angola is set to export 1.77 million barrels per day of crude oil in January, up from 1.60 mln bpd in December, a provisional shipping list showed on Tuesday.

The oil from the OPEC member, and Africa's second largest exporter, will be shipped on 57 vessels, the shipping list showed.

Exports of Cabinda, Girassol, Palanca, Saturno, Hungo, and Plutonio were set to be higher in January than December, while Dalia exports were lower.

Stronger supply of West African crude oil will put further pressure on crude oil futures prices at a time of ample global supply and fragile demand growth.

Traders are awaiting Nigerian crude oil exports lists for January, expected to start emerging this week.
