Barnes-Wentworth Oil
Barnes-Wentworth Oil, formerly Wade Luce Oil, is a fictional oil company from the television series Dallas .
In 1982, Rebecca Wentworth bought the Wade Luce Oil company from retiring oilman Wade Luce in an effort to help her son Cliff fight J.R. Ewing and Ewing Oil. Rebecca was killed in a plane crash in 1983 and Cliff inherited the company in its entirety.
Cliff hired Sly Lovegreen to spy at Ewing Oil as J.R.'s secretary. She fed him information on pending deals at Ewing Oil, and Cliff managed to pull several profitable deals out from under him. J.R. eventually discovered the plot and turned the tables on Cliff feeding him useless information and nearly bankrupting Barnes-Wentworth, however, in 1984, Cliff made a major oil strike in the Gulf which turned Barnes-Wentworth into a major success.
In the late 1980s, Cliff sold Barnes-Wentworth to Jeremy Wendell of WestStar Oil. In 1991, Cliff went on to gain full control of Ewing Oil.
Barnes Global
Barnes Global is a fictional company on the 2012 continuation of Dallas (Season 1 & 2 only). It is owned by Cliff Barnes and Dr. David Gordon under the alias as Patricia Barrett. Dr. Gordon lives in Zurich, Switzerland and was Pamela Barnes Ewing's surgeon after the car accident that burned over 50% of her body.
Between the original series of Dallas which ended jn 1991, and the newer series Dallas in 2012, Cliff Barnes built a multibillion-dollar conglomerate, consisting of over a hundred companies in over fifty countries.
Bobby (Cliff's former brother-in-law), John Ross (Cliff's current son-in-law) and Christopher (Cliff's nephew and former son-in-law) find a financial report on Barnes Global that J.R. Ewing had, revealing Cliff's mother started the company and gave Cliff, Pam, and Katherine each one-third ownership. This contradicts events in the original series, in which Rebecca simply left her three children equal shares of the Wentworth Tool & Die company as well as her considerable fortune (Pam and Katherine also inherited her shares of Wentworth Industries, while Cliff inherited the Barnes-Wentworth oil company). However, it is possible that Barnes Global simply grew from what was Wentworth Industries and Ewing Oil, the latter of which Cliff controlled from 1991 onwards.
Sometime prior to the new series, Katherine died and left her share to Cliff, which he later ceded to his daughter Pamela Rebecca. Meanwhile, Cliff's sister Pam Ewing left Dallas in 1987 still owning her third of the company, with her son Christopher as a potential heir. With his mother missing since he was 7, Christopher sought to declare Pam legally dead to inherit his mother's share of Barnes Global as a means of protecting Ewing Energies. Investigation initiated by J.R., however, reveals the likelihood of Pam living in Zurich. This is how Christopher found Dr. David Gordon and got his mother's will passing on her shares to him.

The series originally focused on the marriage of Bobby Ewing and Pamela Barnes, whose families were sworn enemies with each other. As the series progressed, Bobby's older brother, oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, became the show's breakout character, whose schemes and dirty business became the show's trademark. When the show ended in May 3, 1991, J.R. was the only character to have appeared in every episode.
