Energy preprocessor
64 series are read into the energy preprocessor. Most energy data comes from: BGR, BP, EIA, and the IEA. There are some old WRI series that need to be either updated or the preprocessor needs to be adjusted. There are also some old series from the Oil & Gas Journal that need to be revisited.

- Source definition: Crude oil comprises crude oil, natural gas liquids, refinery feedstocks, and additives as well as other hydrocarbons (including emulsified oils, synthetic crude oil, mineral oils extracted from bituminous minerals such as oil shale, bituminous sand, etc., and oils from coal liquefaction). Crude oil is a mineral oil consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons of natural origin and associated impurities, such as sulphur. It exists in the liquid phase under normal surface temperatures and pressure and its physical characteristics (density, viscosity, etc.) are highly variable. It includes field or lease condensates (separator liquids) which are recovered from associated and non-associated gas where it is commingled with the commercial crude oil stream.
