OPIS (Oil Price Information Service), a Dow Jones company that provides market news, data, analysis, forecasting and consulting on global energy, has terminated Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst. Kloza has been at OPIS since 1980.

Kloza told CSP that he was “blindsided” by his termination but could not provide details on the circumstances.

OPIS did not respond to comment.

“I have not retired, resigned or quit, but I was terminated this morning at the company I founded—OPIS—this morning, and I won't comment on the circumstances,” Kloza said in a LinkedIn post on April 15.

Kloza analyzed the downstream fuel industry, writing columns for related publications, including CSP, and appearing on broadcast media and podcasts. He also previously served on the board for the Fuels Institute, which has been rebranded to the Transportation Energy Institute.
