Crude oil inventories increased for the third week in a row which means that re-balancing will take longer, now extending out to 46 weeks, which, for all practical purposes, is another year.

That explains why OPEC is currently "mulling" extending deeper cuts to the end of 2018. No link but the story is out there.
