Vitol and Galaxy Energy win Rosneft tender for Urals crude
MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Russia's Rosneft awarded a sell tender for Urals crude oil for loading from Primorsk, Ust-Luga and Novorossiisk between April and September to traders Vitol and Monaco-based Galaxy Energy, four market sources told Reuters.
Vitol won the right to load from 1.2 MMt to 3 MMt for loading from Baltic ports and between 0.48 MMt and 1.44 MMt loading from Novorossiisk in 80,000 t cargoes, traders said.
Galaxy Energy won 0.84 MMt to 2.52 MMt of Urals loading from Novorossiisk in 140,000 t cargoes.
Rosneft had offered to sell between 2.52 MMt and 6.96 MMt of Urals crude oil for loading from the three ports.
Vitol also buys Urals from Rosneft under a five-year prefinance agreement. Galaxy Energy has not previously bought Urals crude from Rosneft.
