what happened
Saudi Aramco is receiving many requests from customers and international partners for additional oil storage facilities, according to Market Talk. The prolonged supply disruptions are prompting countries and companies to reassess how much oil they hold.
Chief executive Amin Nasser said the company is working to meet these requests. He noted that some countries hold reserves covering only a few days of consumption. He estimates that filling new storage could require an extra 1 million barrels a day of supply, on top of roughly 2 million barrels a day over two years to replenish depleted stocks if disruptions ended immediately.
why it matters
Restocking and storage demand could keep the oil market supported even after disruptions ease, since considerably more crude would be needed than usual. This is a notable signal for the balance of supply and demand in Brent and WTI.
