on a long-term chart of crude oil prices:
"I've been searching the Chart Library for a chart of oil prices for the last 50 years, but cannot seem to find it…can you direct me, if it is in the library? Many thanks for your help!"

Eoin Treacy's view WTI crude futures have only been trading since 1984. The last time I searched, which was during the last oil spike, Bloomberg did not have a longer data series. However, this has now been rectified and I have added the relevant ticker to the Chart Library. I have also added an inflation adjusted chart to the relevant section and here is a long-term log scale chart which may also be of interest.
