HPCL buys Nigerian crude

Hindustan Petroleum Corp (HPCL) bought 1 million barrels of Nigerian Escravos crude oil for August loading via its regular monthly tender, traders said on Monday.

The likely winner of the tender was energy trader Vitol, traders said. This could not be confirmed.

Price details for the deal had yet to emerge, although Escravos was assessed at dated Brent plus $1.10/$1.20 on Monday.

Last month, HPCL also bought one cargo of Escravos via its tender for July loading sweet crude.
