SK Energy seeks Mideast oil for November-to-February loading, sources say

According to Business Recorder, citing trade sources, the South Korean firm SK Energy has launched a request for offers covering Middle Eastern crude. The purchase is aimed at cargoes to be loaded across a window running from November through February, sources told the publication on Wednesday.

The tender seeks supplies from Gulf producers, naming the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar as potential origins. Bids are due to close on October 1, and the offers will remain valid until October 2, according to the people involved.

The report does not give volumes, prices or the number of cargoes sought, so the size of the purchase cannot be gauged from it. The story also names no listed company on the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
