Financial News for Independent Energy Companies 4th Quarter 2005

Mar 3, 2006
Today the Energy Information Administration released the Financial News for Independent Energy Companies for October - December 2005. The report reviews recent trends in the financial performance of independent energy companies, which are typically smaller than the majors and do not have integrated production/refining operations. All three types of energy companies included in this report -- independent oil and natural gas producers, oil field service companies, and refiner/marketers -- had increased income over the year-ago quarter, as crude oil prices, natural gas prices, and gross refining margins all increased. The next update, for January through March 2006, will be released in May 2006.

Petroleum Supply Monthly Notice

Mar 1, 2006
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) will begin publishing downgraded distillate fuel oil in the Petroleum Supply Monthly effective with the January 2006 data scheduled for release in March. Downgraded distillate fuel oil is collected by the EIA in order to capture the volume of ultra-low sulfur distillate fuel oil (0 ppm-15 ppm sulfur) that is transferred to low-sulfur distillate fuel oil (greater than 15 ppm sulfur to 500 ppm sulfur). The effect is to reclassify the volume transferred from supply (production or imports) and inventory of ultra-low sulfur distillate fuel oil to supply or inventory of low-sulfur distillate fuel oil.

Weekly Petroleum Status Report Notice

Coal remains competitive for power generation in the central United States ›

In the first four months of 2026, electricity, natural gas, and coal prices suggested continued favorable economics for coal generation in MISO. The dark spread of coal, the difference between the fuel costs for coal-fired generation and the wholesale electricity price, in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) region outpaced a similar measure of revenue relative to fuel costs for natural gas-fired generators known as the spark spread.
