LONDON, Dec 20 (Reuters) - An overhang of January-loading Angolan crude was heard to be slowly finding homes on Friday and some early deals for February were being done ahead of the Christmas break.
* On Angolan crude, around five January-loading cargoes are still available, a trader said, suggesting one deal in the last day or so.
* Chevron sold an end-January cargo of Cabinda to Glencore, a trader said. Chevron was also heard to have sold a February-loading Nemba cargo to Indian Oil Corp.
* Angola's February loading programme emerged this week and state-owned Sonangol has yet to start offering February cargoes.
* On Nigerian crude, a trader said on Friday offer levels had not changed.
* December-loading Nigerian Qua Iboe was last heard on offer at around dated Brent plus $1.60, unchanged since the end of last week.
* There is still a sizeable volume of December- and January-loading cargoes to clear, traders have said.
