Methodology & sources
Last updated: Jul 17, 2026Methodology
A consolidated US oil & gas data hub. Source-backed values are seeded for all five charts: the 2026 Brent crude journey through the Strait of Hormuz shock, Henry Hub natural gas annual averages, US crude oil production, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve drawdown, and the Baker Hughes rig count. Every numeric point carries a sources[].ref and a value_basis. Crude and gas prices and production are from the EIA; the rig count is Baker Hughes; the SPR level is EIA weekly stocks with context from DOE and CNN. CAVEAT: the 2026 Henry Hub value ($3.34) and the diesel-related forecasts are EIA projections, labeled as forecasts. The crude chart shows Brent milestone points (not every month); the Jun point also carries the WTI spot ($77.54, Jun 22 2026). Re-verified 2026-06-22.
