Oil futures were on track for their biggest annual gains since 2009 despite intraday losses, aided by OPEC’s agreement to cut production from early next year.

 NIGERIA

* No fresh trading was reported despite some cargoes loading Jan. 15-20 being available for purchase.

* Loading delays on ExxonMobil’s crude exports, which included Qua Iboe and Erha, impinged on demand as buyers worried about demurrage costs.

* The bulk of the delays were because of strikes this month over layoffs by oil companies, traders said.

ANGOLA

* Little fresh spot trading surfaced even as loadings proceeded on schedule.

* Media reports said that Angolan courts had cleared Isabel dos Santos to lead state oil company Sonangol, rejecting a legal challenge to her appointment by President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, her father.

TENDERS

* Indonesia’s Pertamina was running a tender to buy light sweet crude oil for March delivery. Traders expect it to be awarded in early January.
