The company said that for this tender it will accept offers of Ecuadorian Napo or Oriente crudes; Colombian Vasconia, Cano Limon, South Blend or Castilla; Brazilian Bijupira, Marlim or Roncador 28; Argentine Canadon Seco or Escalante; and Venezuelan Mesa 30, Santa Barbara or Leona 24.

It will also consider offers of West African crudes or British Forties.

Bids will be received until May 6 and they must be indexed to Brent or West Texas Intermediate prices.
