Current Events – June 2025
A major topic in oil news is the legal battle over one of the largest oil and natural gas finds in the Western Hemisphere. This battle is about who has rights to Guyana’s lucrative offshore oil fields.
Current Events – May 2025
The ongoing tariff war between the United States and China is causing a shift in the global LPG supply. While China searches for LPG supply options without tariffs, India could help boost U.S. LPG exports. The supply situation continues to develop as the global energy market adapts to the impact of U.S. tariffs and response from various nations.
Current Events – April 2025
Talk about tariffs still fills the news, with the possibility of new ones taking effect soon. This issue is important and is one we are watching closely. Tariffs could have a negative impact on the energy industry, specifically on refineries in the U.S. Midwest. This is why we want to look at the importance of Canadian crude oil to the United States.

Current Events – February 2025

Testimonials
From Our Valued Customers.
We enjoy working with Westlark Advisors. Great people who have helped our business!
Will
Westlark Advisors has taken the burden of the everyday supply logistics off our plate and allowed us to focus on our operations in the critical times of the year. They have educated our team along the way and helped us brainstorm options/risks that fit our business model. Westlark Advisors has allowed the Tevis organization to explore opportunities within the supply and hedging arena that we would not have been exposed to without the relationship.
Dave
We experience less angst when making a futures purchase.*
Jeff
They not only taught us how to plan and diversify our supply, but also new ways to protect the price. They have been great at negotiating supply deals and putting plans in place to know we will be secure when the market is not. I am confident that if things get tight we will be in a better position than our competitors.
Troy
We can’t say enough about the high level of service the entire team provided us. We relied on them and they came through for us over and over. They are complete professionals and a pleasure to do business with.
