Sources, method and editorial rules

The Kingdom: Saudi Arabia's monthly crude figures as reported to the Joint Organisations Data Initiative (JODI), and Renewable Vision's power balance, solar outlook and project ledger, built from the Principal Buyer's and SWPC's registers and the renewables tracker. Prices: EIA spot prices via FRED (published a few working days behind the market); EIA weekly crude stocks; IMF monthly averages for Dubai, European gas and Asian LNG. Headlines: EIA, OilPrice.com, Rigzone and the publishers the site follows; each event links to its source. The 3-2-1 crack is two barrels of New York Harbor gasoline and one of heating oil against three of WTI, from the same EIA series.

Editorial rules: Renewable Vision is an energy platform. The dialogue reports facts with their sources and carries no political or security news; where developments move the markets, it refers to them in market terms only. Saudi news is taken only from official sources and Saudi and Gulf media, reported as published and never interpreted or price-scored. Headlines listed in their publishers' own words come from official sources only.
