Saudi Aramco CEO Warns Oil Stockpiles Are 'Scarily Thin' and Could Take Two Years to Rebuild
The world's oil stockpiles are dangerously low, according to Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser. He warned that it could take up to two years for global reserves to recover even after normalizing flows through the Strait of Hormuz resume. Nasser highlighted concerns over energy security and market stability in light of current geopolitical tensions affecting oil supply routes. His comments underscore broader anxieties about potential disruptions in a key shipping corridor, which has seen recent incidents that raised fears of an escalation in regional conflicts. The warning comes amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding global crude markets, with low stockpiles increasing vulnerability to price volatility and supply shocks.
