-Nigerian oil exports rise to 1.88 million bpd in March

Nigeria will export around 1.88 million barrels per day (bpd)of crude oil in March, up from 1.72
million bpd in February, shipping lists seen by Reuters indicated on Wednesday.
    The final total export level may be slightly higher as some smaller grades had yet to emerge.
    Exports have slowly recovered in recent months as problems of oil theft at the Trans Niger Pipeline feeding the Bonny Light grade of crude oil seem to have abated a little.
    Bonny Light exports were at 155,000 bpd for March compared to 141,000 in February
    However total exports remain below the 2 million bpd levels seen for much of 2012 to 2014.
    March exports will be the highest since September which were revised upwards to 1.94 million bpd after Bonny Light exports were added to the programme.
