据普氏能源资讯5月19日报道称，沙特阿拉伯能源部长哈立德.法利赫表示，产油国已达成共识，继续推动石油库存减少至今年下半年。

“我们想要一个平衡的市场，”法利赫在沙特阿拉伯吉达举行的部长级联合监督委员会会议结束后表示。“如果需要重新审视目标产量，我们可以重新调整我们的目标，但预计不会需要。”

JMMC要求欧佩克秘书处“继续监测和分析石油市场的发展，特别是未来几周的石油库存预测。”

在会议召开之前，沙特和阿联酋的部长们主张原定于今年6月份到期的石油减产延期，这表明全球库存正在上升，即使面对即将到来的夏季高峰需求季节。

俄罗斯部长表示，从制裁到地缘政治问题，影响市场的因素很多，因此在决策方面需要保持灵活性。

法利赫和其他部长表示，尽管受到干扰和制裁，市场依然供应充足。

他的观点得到阿联酋石油部长Suhail al-Mazrouei的赞同，他指出一些国家的成品油库存水平正在增加，需要加以监测。

Mazrouei说：“这是一个关注市场，观察供需和库存建设以及联盟以外一些国家（如美国）产量增长的重要时期。”，“尽管减产，我们还没有看到市场短缺或严重短缺，库存仍处于高于五年的水平。”欧佩克的目标是将经合组织的库存降至五年平均水平。

Saudi Arabia says there's consensus to push for lower inventories

Saudi Arabia's energy minister Khalid al-Falih said there is a consensus among producers to keep pushing for a reduction in oil inventories into the second half of this year.

"We want a balanced market," Falih said after the conclusion of the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. "If there is a need to revisit target production we can re-adjust our targets but don't anticipate that will be needed."

The JMMC asked the OPEC secretariat to "continue to monitor and analyze oil market developments and, particularly, oil inventory projections in the coming weeks."

Ahead of the meeting, Saudi and UAE ministers were advocating for an extension to oil production cuts set to expire in June, pointing to rising global inventories, even in the face of the summer peak demand season just ahead.

The Russian minister said there are many factors impacting the market from sanctions to geopolitical issues which necessitate remaining flexible when it comes to decision making.

Falih and other ministers said the market remained well-supplied despite the disruptions and sanctions.

His views were echoed by UAE oil minister Suhail al-Mazrouei, who noted inventory levels of refined products in some countries are increasing and need to be monitored."

This is an important period to look at the market, to look at the supply and demand and inventory building taking place and the increase in production from some countries outside the alliance, such as US," Mazrouei said."Despite the reduction in their production, we haven't seen shortages or major shortages in the market and the inventories are still at a level higher than five years."OPEC aims to bring OECD inventories down to their five-year average.
