EIA Strengthens Process for Public Release of Weekly Petroleum and Natural Gas Data
(Mon, 2 Jun 2008) The Energy Information Administration (EIA) has verified that petroleum data in the Weekly Petroleum Status Report (WPSR) for the week ending May 23, scheduled for release at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time on May 29, 2008, was available and accessed on the public EIA website prior to its scheduled release time due to a malfunction in the system used to load the data while keeping it from public release prior to the scheduled release time.
EIA has determined that changes need to be made to its systems and procedures to avoid a recurrence. Some of these changes require implementation and testing, some of which will not be possible before the next scheduled release on Wednesday, June 4, 2008. Consequently, EIA will be changing its release procedures for the next several weeks to allow time for implementation and testing of system changes. The procedures will also apply to the release of natural gas storage data in the Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report (WNGSR) on Thursday morning.
