It is expected that the corresponding memorandum with the state oil company Saudi Aramco will be signed in the near future. This is what Singapore's energy minister announced, don't look long. We are talking about raw material reserves, which should be kept closer to the regional buyers, and not rely only on a continuous flow of oil by sea.
