NEW DELHI/LONDON, April 20 (Reuters) - India's Bharat Petroleum Corp (BPCL) bought 3 million barrels of June-loading sweet crude from Nigeria and Algeria in its latest tender closing on Tuesday, trade sources said.
India's second-largest refiner bought 1 million barrels each of Nigerian Agbami and Brass River crude oil grades from trader Glencore, due to load on a Very Large Crude Carrier sometime in June, traders said.
BPCL paid a premium above dated Brent of around 40 cents for each Agbami barrel and between dated Brent plus $1.20 and plus $1.30 for the Brass River, traders said.
BPCL also bought 1 million barrels of June Saharan Blend crude oil from Algerian state-owned oil company Sonatrach, traders said. Price details were not immediately available. (Reporting by Nidhi Verma in New Delhi and Joe Brock in London; editing by James Jukwey
