Sudan Offers 1.2mln Barrels end-June Dar-blend Crude
Sudan has offered via tender 1.2 million barrels of acidic Dar Blend crude for end-June loading, only its second spot tender for the grade, a trader said on Tuesday.
The tender, which closes on May 19, offers two cargoes — one 600,000-barrel cargo for loading on June 26-28, and the second for June 29-July 1 loading, the trader added.
Last month, Sudan sold an estimated 1.5 million barrels of Dar Blend crude for May loading through its first-ever spot tender for the acidic grade.
State-owned oil company Sudapet sells higher-quality Nile Blend crude via monthly tenders.
It was unclear if Sudapet’s spot tenders for Dar Blend crude meant the end of a marketing agreement with European trader Vitol, which has been selling most of the grade’s output on behalf of the different equity holders since the grade came on stream in 2006.
