Saudi Arabia to Store Crude Oil in Singapore from Mid-2027 to Boost Supply Security
Saudi Arabia plans to store crude oil at Singapore's Jurong Rock Caverns starting in the second half of 2027 to enhance supply security in Southeast Asia. This initiative aims to strengthen the resilience of Saudi crude oil supply chains and support Singapore's energy security amid potential disruptions. Saudi Aramco will sign a memorandum of understanding with Singapore's Energy Market Authority and JTC Corp to formalize the arrangement, with negotiations expected to conclude within a few months.
