Before trouble could increase oil prices. Not anymore.

No more room for maneuver.
The population in the arid lands around oil producers grew too fast. Moslems without family control

These populations need low priced food as the % of their income going to food is large.

Before once trouble boiled up around middle east, price of oil would go up and food go up as the populations had room to accommodate the price increase.

Asia increased wealth changed that. High Priced of food is here to stay

oil Price up=food up=disruptions for the population in the arid lands around oil producers grew too fast. Moslems without family control. RESULT? Arab Spring.

Price of food goes up and the population in the arid lands around oil producers need to spend 100% of their income on food.

Arabs rich countries that gorged in high oil prices are scared of Arab Springs.

RESULT? Oil price low when we have:
ISIS mayhem in the North.
Syria bogged down in civil war.
Yemen failing state in the South and price is down.
