Kills the defenders and leaves the oil fields.

That's somewhat of a myth. You still have the nuclear blast, but a lower blast yield (couple hundred yards) and a large neutron and gamma rad yield. They were developed to stop armor, since armor can more readily resist the heat and blast effects, but the steel armor acts like a microwave oven to those inside when bombarded by high energy neutrons.

The oil fields not harmed by the blast would still glow in the dark.
