    West African Crude: Bonny Light, Forcados, and Nigerian Export Terminals

    Nigerian crude grades:

    • Bonny Light — light sweet, ~33° API.
    • Forcados — light sweet, ~30° API.
    • Qua Iboe — light sweet, ~36° API.
    • Escravos — light sweet, ~33° API.

    Lifting requires NNPC allocation. Direct refinery offers from "Nigerian mandates" without NNPC paperwork are scams.
