Oil is a cartel with quotas. Controlled supply. Price artificially high by keeping major producers out:

Libya embargoed before.

Iran without investment for almost 3 decades.

Iraq involved in a war right now.

Lousy producer such as Mexico that doesn't allow foreign technology and foreign investment on the state owned Petrossaurus

All artificial -or ineptude- devices to keep the oil price up where it is.
