SEOUL -- S-Oil, a petroleum and refinery company based in Seoul, has secured an order worth 3.14 trillion won ($2.66 billion) to supply oil products to Saudi Aramco's trading arm in Singapore.

S-Oil said in a regulatory filing that it signed a contract with Aramco Trading Singapore PTE LTD. on January 28 to provide diesel, naphtha, aviation oil, gasoline and MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether), a blending component of gasoline, which is used as a fuel oxygenate.
