LONDON, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Oil prices rose to record highs Monday near $50 a barrel for U.S. crude as Nigeria emerged as the latest focus for worries about supply in an already tight worldwide energy market.

U.S. light crude <CLc1> rose 82 cents to $49.70 a barrel to mark their loftiest level in the 21 years of trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

London Brent, the benchmark for European crude imports, rose 79 cents to a record $46.12 a barrel.

"We now think that (U.S.) crude oil could reach $61 before a meaningful sell-off occurs," investment bank Morgan Stanley said in a report to its clients.

Growing concerns over militancy in Nigeria, OPEC's fifth-largest producer, are compounding worries about supply security in Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
