LondonAlmost 3 billion barrels of oil supply lost, Aramco says.
Chief executive Amin Nasser says refilling stockpiles could take up to 2 years.
Stocks released 1 billion barrels, mostly commercial, and about 6 billion in storage are “not practically available,” he said.
Brent would have reached up to $200 without Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline, now at about 80% capacity, Nasser estimates.
He warns pressure at both ends of the barrel will intensify until Hormuz fully reopens.
