Angola's offshore Plutonio oil field resumed production over the weekend after being shut down for about 10 days for maintenance, industry sources said on Sept. 19
The field, operated by BP Plc (NYSE: BP), typically exports about 130,000 barrels per day (bbl/d).
Sonangol issued its preliminary November loading program on Sept. 19 at 1.57 MMbbl/d. It did not include any Plutonio oil.
Angola exports between 1.7 MMbbl/d and 1.8 MMbbl/d of oil on average, but loadings hit a 10-year low in October as a larger stream, Dalia, was undergoing maintenance.
A trading source said that a fourth Plutonio cargo had been added to the October program.
