Bloomberg is reporting that a senior official at Nigeria’s 650k b/d Dangote refinery said it is reselling cargoes of US crude, aligning with earlier reports from Reuters.

• The anonymous official told Bloomberg that the refinery is selling US supplies, though has the option to procure more local barrels if needed.
• The previous Reuters story – which cited four trade sources - suggested that both US and Nigerian barrels could be on offer, while Bloomberg refers only to US cargoes.
• Reuters said that the cause of the re-offers was a technical issue at the refinery.
• Both Bloomberg and Reuters said that the CDU continues to operate.
• As sources are unnamed, it cannot be confirmed whether Bloomberg’s source is unique or among those cited earlier by Reuters.
