尽管美国原油库存增加，油价下跌，石油输出国组织(OPEC)仍将如期执行从8月份开始每日增产50万桶原油的计划。外电中有这样的报道：OPEC needs to stick to its pledge to raise daily crude oil output by half a million barrels on Aug. 1, even though U.S. oil prices are lower and inventories are higher. Inventory除了“详细目录、财产清单”的意思外，还表示“存货、库存量”。例如下面这句关于清仓处理的广告语：We are liquidating some inventory and offering 10% off our regular prices for the following parts.（我们正在清理一些存货，对于以下的零件提供低于平常价格10%的折扣。）
