NEW DEHLI (Reuters) - Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd bought a one million barrel cargo of Congolese Djeno crude oil via a tender, an industry source with knowledge of the matter said.
Sources said the cargo, which Glencore sold at a roughly $5 a barrel discount to dated Brent on a loading basis, marks the first time the firm has bought Djeno. The cargo will load in the second half of April.
MRPL operates a 300,000 barrels a day coastal refinery in southern Karnataka state.
