Soon after Herbert died, and Rebecca reconciled with her children Cliff and Pam, Rebecca introduced them to their half-sister, Katherine. In turn of events, Rebecca's plane crashed in 1983 ("Crash of '83") and she died in Dallas Memorial. In her will, she left her huge Wentworth fortune to her children Cliff, Pam and Katherine. Katherine fled the country to Europe in 1984 after being wanted for attempted murder. In 1987, Pamela left Dallas after her car accident making her son Christopher heir of her Barnes-Wentworth Oil share, along with Cliff.

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 Barnes fight J.R. Ewing and Ewing Oil. Rebecca was killed in a plane crash in 1983. She split up the company between Cliff, Pam, and Katherine according to continuation. When Katherine died, she gave her shares to Cliff.
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.
Cliff later sold Barnes-Wentworth to Jeremy Wendell, but in the continuation, the company was still owned by Cliff, who diversified the company and it became a multibillion-dollar conglomerate called Barnes Global.

Barnes Global is a fictional company on the updated version 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 old version of Dallas and the newer version Dallas, Cliff Barnes built a multibillion-dollar conglomerate, consisting of over a hundred companies in over fifty countries, out of Barnes-Wentworth Oil, the company his mother had purchased back in 1982.
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. Katherine died and left her share to Cliff, which he later ceded to his daughter Pamela Rebecca. Meanwhile, Pam left Dallas in 1988 still owning her third of the company, with her son Christopher as a potential heir. With his mother missing since he was 7, Christopher seeks 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.

Ewing Global is a fictional company on the updated version of Dallas. Formerly Barnes Global, it is owned by Cliff Barnes, his daughter Pamela (with husband John Ross Ewing), and his nephew Christopher Ewing. Cliff is currently being represented by his hired proxy Nicolas Treviño (an childhood friend of Elena Ramos).
John Ross, Pamela, and Christopher merged Barnes Global and Ewing Energies and renamed the company to show who was in charge. Nicolas Treviño showed up in Dallas soon after Elena talked to Cliff in Nuevo Laredo. The Ewings were about to sell their consumers division in order to pay for the arctic leases. The leases would earn the new merged company millions, but Treviño stopped them saying that the Ewings had a majority but not a "super majority". John Ross planned to frack Southfork as a second option, but Bobby disagreed.
