Rebuilding the world's oil inventories could take around two years as pressure on crude supplies grows and global energy markets remain under strain, Saudi Aramco President and CEO Amin Nasser said, according to Saudi Gazette.

Speaking at the World Petroleum Congress in Riyadh on Monday, Nasser said the company is looking at further routes for exporting crude and enlarging its storage facilities outside the Kingdom. The aim, he said, is to give supply more flexibility and make Aramco better able to withstand market swings and disruptions.
