据塔斯社5月26日报道，俄罗斯能源部长诺瓦克(Alexander Novak)表示，石油需求仍处于较低水平，但5月份的需求较4月份增加了20%。

他指出：“尽管形势严峻，但石油行业仍在继续运转，汽油价格今年以来保持平稳，柴油价格只比年初上涨了1.5%。”

诺瓦克补充称，迄今为止，石油过剩约为每天700 - 1200万桶，但能源部预计，由于6月、7月需求增长，市场将实现再平衡。

油田服务方面的需求下降了50%，政府已经准备了支持措施。诺瓦克表示：“我们已经准备了一系列支持油田服务公司的建议，旨在使其需求至少达到去年的80%。”

Oil demand recovered by 20% in May against April - Russian Energy Minister

Oil demand remains at a low level but the demand in May increased by 20% against April, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said on Monday, cited by the Ministry.

"Despite the grave situation, the industry continues working. We also see that motor gasoline prices remain flat year-to-date and diesel fuel prices increased by just 1.5% from the year-start," the Minister noted.

The oil surplus is about 7-12 mln barrels per day so far but the Energy Ministry expects market rebalancing owing to demand growth in June - July, Novak added.

Oilfield services

The demand for oilfield services plummeted 50% and the government has prepared support measures for the sector.

"We have prepared a range of proposals related to support of [oilfield service] companies, with the demand for their services down by 50% approximately. [The demand] should be brought to at least 80% of the level, as it was last year," the source noted.
