For all the talented and hardworking @EIAgov staff rationalizing our antiquated system architecture and rebuilding mission-critical products hardcoded in near-dead languages, I have one message: Full Steam Ahead.

Kudos to Team @EIAgov for navigating PHP patch while simultaneously prepping a successful WPSR release (time to first byte: 2-4 milliseconds) + launching new daily spot prices: eia.gov/petroleum/prices/tab…

Today's WPSR @EIAgov includes a new Commercial Crude Oil Stocks table and enhanced data viz. Why? Because our unique survey data should be easily accessible to the American people.

Bravo! I've already been using it.
Incredibly excited that we @Arnold_Ventures, in conjunction with @IFP and @_HannahRitchie are launching a new U.S. Energy Data Platform. It is and will remain free to the public. And it's a massive leap from anything that exists presently in its space. usenergydata.org/

This is a great thing.
Breaking my Twitter hiatus this week to, among other things, share this very nifty new data explorer from @Arnold_Ventures & @IFP. They’ve pulled the very-good-but-hard-to-use @EIAgov data and created a clean, straightforward new website. Recommend y’all take it for a spin!

Some chatter today about the commercial inventory build in today's WPSR @EIAgov. At 17.423 mb, it is the fourth largest after: 21.563 mb on 2/26/21, 19.248 mb on 4/10/20, and 18.961 on 1/6/23...

Testing out some new graphics...
For the week ending July 17, 2026, commercial #crudeoil inventories (excluding the SPR) increased 2.0 million barrels to 411.7 million barrels, 6% below the previous five-year (2021–2025) average. #TodayInEnergy bit.ly/4hprr4y bit.ly/4a3wmCU

More soon!
Replying to @EIA_One
Thanks for the reply! I know you've spoken about it as a priority, and I'd love to hear more about how AI is being integrated into your modernization agenda, how it's being used, and how we (the rest of the energy analysis community) might learn from you all!

Let's chat about those PDFs. Do you use the 62-page version or the table-by-table?
Replying to @Rory_Johnston
JSON is where it's at! (I'm a developer) Any AI tool can help you parse it quickly. I'm surprised they kept HTML over PDF.

Pausing plans to revise the WPSR publication: nothing changes June 10. It does need to be modernized, but we'll take our time to get it right. You deserve a robust opportunity to provide input on what we've proposed: eiainfopetroleum@eia.gov. No black holes: I will read it all.

As promised: After being stuck in Beta testing for nearly TEN YEARS, @EIAgov is graduating 2012 CBECS Grocery Store Establishment Data. First published on October 12, 2016. eia.gov/consumption/commerci…
Happy to announce that @EIAgov State Energy Portal is finally out of Beta testing, where it has languished since May 15, 2019 -- nearly SEVEN YEARS. Much more to come: Full Speed Ahead. eia.gov/states/overview

Thrilled to launch the new WNGSR Supplement, featuring vastly improved data visualization and a cleaner production process. Why the hook on the WNGSR? Because that's the only Principal Federal Economic Indicator that we publish.
We just launched a new Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report Supplement that streamlines our weekly natural gas and LNG data. The Supplement highlights: ▶️ Natural gas storage ▶️ Natural gas prices ▶️ Liquefied natural gas Look for it every Thursday afternoon. #naturalgas #LNG bit.ly/468Tizy

I stood next to our CISO at @EIAgov datacenter when WNGSR launched today under the new serverless, cloud-based system. "Time to first byte" for median user was 51 milliseconds. A staff-led effort from the beginning. My message to all-hands: YOU have agency in this world.

Defeatism is a siren song: tempting, fatal, misguided. For those struggling under legacy systems, antiquated processes + dilapidated tools, take this result to heart: it doesn’t have to be this way. Do not settle. Together we will leave @EIAgov in better shape than we found it.
