How Content Is Produced
Articles draw on publicly available data and general industry knowledge:
- Underlying price data is sourced from public exchanges and reflected through TradingView's chart widgets.
- Production, inventory, and demand figures come from public agencies such as the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the International Energy Agency (IEA), and OPEC's monthly reports.
- Articles separate factual reporting from interpretation, and avoid attributing private statements or quotes to specific named individuals unless they are part of the public record.
- Educational content prefers durable concepts over short-lived numbers, so background pieces stay useful longer.
- When errors are identified, the affected page is updated and the "Last reviewed" date is refreshed.
