The market has around 14 unsold January cargoes available, down 3 from Wednesday's estimate but still a sizeable overhang given that next month's programmes will be out in just over a week.

Cargoes have sold for weaker differentials than in the previous month, a trader said, putting the month-on-month decline at around 50 cents a barrel, due to softer demand.

Unsold cargoes include two cargoes of Cabinda, two of CLOV, two of Pazflor and two of Saturno.
