Egypt's state oil firm EGPC has issued a tender to purchase up to 4.5 million barrels of imported crude oil between mid-October and December, a document showed on Monday. EGPC is seeking between 1-3 cargoes carrying a maximum of 1.5 million barrels a month, the document showed. The delivery dates overlapped with a previous tender for imports to cover the September-December period. It was not immediately clear whether the previous tender had been cancelled or if additional imports were required. Reuters
