Why
The EIA has experienced flat funding for nearly two decades, leading to reduced staff and changes in its reporting methods, while private companies offer faster and more detailed data.

The potential shift from a free, public oil-stocks report to paid private data could create an information asymmetry, where wealthier market participants gain an advantage by accessing data earlier than those who cannot afford it, potentially making the market less fair.
