Oilintel.com is a wholly owned subsidiary of Oil Intelligence Link, Inc., which was founded in 2005 by Tom Waterman. Waterman has been writing about oil, gas, electricity and renewable fuels as a reporter, editor and publisher for 23 years. After several years as a line reporter and editor, he launched Btu, which became recognized as one of the leading sources of information in the natural gas and electricity markets, and the most widely distributed electronic information and market intelligence product in the market. He also started a daily wire service and weekly petroleum publication known as MarketWire.

Waterman has assembled a veteran staff of reporters to build what he envisions as the leading source of market intelligence across the energy spectrum. He began by having his staff cover petroleum and ethanol markets daily since April of 2005. He launched the weekly publication The Ethanol Monitor in June 2005, and it has quickly emerged as one the most innovative and comprehensive publications in the field. Some have referred to it as the "Premiere" publication in that marketplace.

Oilintel.com is his latest enterprise and the unique content and tools will certainly attract a wide and diversified audience. The product is also free of charge, but this should not be misleading this is a professionally produced product, with real-time news, pricing, analytical services essential to markets. It appeals to those directly involved with day to day trading, and those that make purchasing decisions in industry or government. It is market intelligence that delivers timely and necessary facts and figures that will appeal to the energy industry worldwide. Individuals, government, educators and the business world generally frequent the site.
