SINGAPORE, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Russian ESPO crude slipped in Asia on Friday as a rise in November export volume and a limited pool of buyers weighed on the grade. * TENDERS - Russia's Rosneft sold two cargoes of November ESPO crude lower than the $4-$5 a barrel premiums fetched for earlier deals by other producers. Russia is exporting three more cargoes of ESPO crude from the Pacific port of Kozmino in November after the expansion of the Asian pipeline. A limited pool of buyers in Asia, mainly Japan and China, have completed their purchases. Rosneft sold a 100,000-tonne cargo each to Japanese refiner JX Nippon Oil & Energy Group and European trader Trafigura at premiums between $3.80 and $3.90 a barrel to Dubai quotes, they said. The cargoes will load on Nov. 16-20 and 20-23. The deals could not be independently verified. Japan bought most of the November cargoes with JX purchasing at least four, including one from Tenergy and two from Surgutneftgaz, as its refineries return from maintenance, traders said. - India's second largest state-run refiner, Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL), bought 1 million barrels of sweet crude in a tender, bringing its total spot volume for November loading to 3 million barrels, traders said. The refiner bought 1 million barrels of Nigerian Agbami from Chevron to load on November 21-30, they said. The price was not available. * MARKET NEWS - North Sea Brent crude oil loadings will fall to around 120,000 barrels per day (bpd) in November from 135,000 bpd originally scheduled for October, trade sources said. - Mounting delays to tanker loadings of Forties are skewing the price of the British crude used in pricing global oil exports at a time when regulators are scrutinising the market. - Seaborne oil exports from OPEC, excluding Angola and Ecuador, will fall by 370,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the four weeks to Oct 20, an analyst who estimates future shipments said.
