CAIRO (Reuters) - Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil producer, has supplied 1 million barrels of crude oil to Egyptian refineries, Egypt's Petroleum Minister Tarek El Molla told Reuters on Sunday.

Egypt and Saudi Arabia will be studying the economic feasibility of continuing to refine Saudi crude in Egyptian refineries by the start of 2018, El Molla said.

Saudi Arabia agreed in April last year to provide Egypt with 700,000 tonnes of refined oil products a month for five years.
