Corrections Policy

Last updated: May 1, 2026

Our Commitment

We aim to be accurate. We will not always succeed. When we publish factual errors — in numbers, names, dates, attribution, or interpretation of source data — we correct them as quickly as we can verify the correct information.

We do not silently delete or rewrite published material to obscure errors. Substantive corrections are noted in the article so readers know what changed.

Categories of Correction

• Factual error. A name, date, number, attribution, or stated fact in the article was wrong. We correct the error in the article and add a correction notice at the bottom describing what changed and when.
• Clarification. The article was technically accurate but misleading or unclear. We add or revise wording to make the meaning unambiguous, and add a clarification notice if the change is material.
• Update. The story has progressed and our coverage needs to reflect that (e.g., an OPEC meeting decision, an earnings revision, a corrected company press release). We update the article and date-stamp the new version. Updates are normal news workflow and do not require a correction notice unless an earlier version contained a factual error.
• Retraction. When an article is so factually wrong that correction is insufficient, we retract it. The article URL is preserved (we do not delete URLs that have been indexed) but the body is replaced with a retraction notice explaining what was wrong and what we are doing about it.

Response Time

We aim to acknowledge every substantive correction request within one business day and to publish a correction (or explain why we believe none is warranted) within two business days. Material errors flagged outside business hours are reviewed first thing the next business day.

Corrections involving live data (commodity prices, daily gas averages, rig counts) are typically resolved within hours because we can verify against the original source feed directly.

How to Submit a Correction Request

Email us at editorial@energypricestoday.com with:

• The URL of the article in question
• The specific passage you believe is incorrect (a copy-paste of the sentence or paragraph helps)
• What you believe the correct information is
• Your source for the corrected information, if you have one

You do not need to be the subject of the article or have professional credentials to submit a correction. We take every substantive request seriously regardless of who sends it.

When We Will Not Issue a Correction

A correction request is not the same as a disagreement with our coverage. We do not issue corrections for:

• Differences of analytical interpretation. If our analysis section reads a market event differently than you do, that is a difference of opinion, not a factual error.
• Selective objection to accurate reporting. If we accurately report a public statement, regulatory filing, or data release, we will not retract or alter the report because the subject of the statement disagrees with how it landed.
• Demands without specific basis. Requests that something be removed without specifying what is factually wrong with it will be acknowledged but not acted on.
