Ownership & Funding

Independent Ownership

Barrel Wire is independently owned and operated. We are not affiliated with any oil company, government body or trading firm, and our coverage reflects that independence.

How We Are Funded

Barrel Wire is funded through advertising displayed on our site. This revenue supports the research and writing that goes into our daily coverage of energy markets.

Editorial Independence

Advertising relationships have no influence on which stories we cover or how we report them. Editorial decisions are made independently of any sponsor, advertiser or business partner.
